What and where?

[ian_finlayson]

Hi Huys and Gals

Just finalised purchase of some used eibach pro kit springs and anti lift kit for my RB5. Now looking to replace the dampers. I am drawn to bilstein but which ones - Sprint or original replacements. Or any other suggestions. Would love p1 suspension but cant get a hold of them right now so trying to get as near as possible on a limited budget.

On the shopping list too:

Whiteline rear adjustable anti roll bar - should I get front too?

White line drop links or should I get powerflex ones?

Need alignment check once fitted, where to get laser alignment done in central/west of scotland

Finally and worst of all 90,000 mile service - AWD, Hypertech or subaru dealer.

Thanks

Ian

No experience of Subaru fitments by Bilstein but I do on my pug. The Streetline kit is pants, way too soft. The Sprintline on the other hand is a bit more like it. A tad stiffer than standard but still gives a good ride.

I tried AVO's once and they were useless. Bilstein combined with Eibach springs were a good choice in my experience.

Still looking for suggestions where to get the stuff and also where to get alignment done

I'd second Duncan at Hypertech. He can also arrange for the alignment to be done at Pro-Grip. So drop your car off, go work off shore and come back to a completely sorted car.

AWD have a good rep too (only ever bought parts from them, and they were very helpful). Dunno if they can do a full geometry job (or have somewhere that can do it)

back up all the posts which recommend Duncan @ Hypertech, wouldnt send the car anywhere else mate, first class job and service, not to mention free chuppa chupps lollies

I would recommend Fiskins in Forfar to carry out the work.

They did a similar set-up for me on my last car:

Springs, swaybar links (Whiteline), Prodrive geometry set-up etc

It was 3 hours labour all in for the above.

Very reasonable rates for a dealership and you get SIDC discount on top!

I would avoid AWD at all costs. I could give you a list longer than your arm of people that have had bad experiences there!

Swifts/Extreme Motorsport in Whitburn, West Lothian - 2 minutes from Junction 4 of the M8. They will do the work for you - they have their own, best quality new 4 wheel alignment gear, are Subaru and Mitsubishi specialists and are "doing up" their premises at the moment.

Used by me and many others to do work such as oil changes, they are Whiteline authorised dealers etc.
