A lowered WRX that still rides like a daily.
The Spec-A is built for WRX owners who want a clean stance and improved control without sacrificing ride quality. Designed for real-world driving, it smooths out rough roads while keeping the car responsive and predictable.
Dežru Spec-A Coilovers – Subaru WRX (2008–2014)
The Dežru Spec-A is engineered specifically for the 2008–2014 WRX, focusing on what most street-driven cars actually need: comfort, control, and drivability.
Many aftermarket coilovers for the WRX rely on overly stiff spring rates, which can make the car feel harsh, nervous, and tiring to drive daily. The Spec-A avoids that approach by using balanced spring rates and properly matched damping to deliver a smoother, more composed ride.
With a lowering range of 0.5" to 3" below OEM ride height, the Spec-A achieves the stance most owners are after while maintaining proper suspension behavior and usability.
Key Features
- Comfort-focused monotube dampers tuned for real-world road conditions.
- Rebound adjustable (20 clicks) to fine-tune ride quality and responsiveness.
- ~336 lb/in front and ~392 lb/in rear spring rates, selected to maintain comfort while improving control.
- Dual height adjustment for independent ride height and preload tuning.
- Radial bearing front mounts for smooth steering feel.
- OEM hybrid upper mounts to minimize NVH.
- CNC machined high-flow piston for consistent damping performance.
- Electro-plated steel shock bodies for durability.
- Stainless steel shim stacks for long-term reliability.
- Pre-configured brackets for ABS and sensor line integration.
- Fully rebuildable with individual parts available.
Performance Character
The Spec-A transforms the WRX into a more refined and livable daily driver. It removes the harshness and impact stiffness commonly found in entry-level coilovers, while still improving overall chassis control.
The front spring rate maintains compliance over bumps and uneven pavement, while the slightly higher rear rate helps stabilize the chassis during acceleration and cornering. This results in a car that feels more planted and predictable, without becoming stiff or unforgiving.
Around town, the ride is smooth and controlled. On the highway, the car feels settled and stable. When pushed on a backroad, the suspension remains composed without punishing the driver.
While not intended as a dedicated track setup, the Spec-A is fully capable of spirited driving and occasional autocross, making it a versatile option for daily-driven WRXs.
Who This Is For
- Drivers who want a comfortable, lowered daily driver
- Those tired of harsh, overly stiff coilovers
- Street-focused builds with occasional spirited driving
- Owners who value ride quality and composure over aggressive track stiffness
If your goal is a WRX that looks right, rides well, and feels composed in everyday driving, the Spec-A is built for exactly that purpose.
