terminator Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 I am thinking about slamming my new age wagon on its arse.What springs r best? H andR 50mm or tein 35mm ? I have heard of problems with the bedding in on eibach?.
craig mac Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 What sort of drop do you get with the prodrive springs? Craig
wrxmania Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 I think it is 25mm front and 20 mm rear. Much more and you may kill the Scoobs handling characteristics on road. The drop is I am sure listed on the Subaru website or on the prodrive website/subaru section. Brian
oobster Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 Sounds about right Brian - got the prodrive springs on mine about 4 weeks ago and it's dropped the front more than the back - but it looks nice with a very slight nose-down attitude. S&S done mine, just under the 400 quid mark including a geo check
wrxmania Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 Makes a difference to the look but it is the handling which is most important I believe. Any car can look low. I think I paid just short of £330 at A F Noble Subaru in Penicuik, without any SIDC discount, about 15 months ago, which I thought was a good price. This included supply and fit of the springs and the full geometry check and Prodrive settings. Sorry I missed you the other night Andy - it signed me in - I was not there but having connection problems for weeks (no phone for three weeks ). Brian
fai17 Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 Got prodrive on mines. Handles brilliantly on road and track You don't want to go too low btw
sma01 Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 never mind springs, coilovers are the way forward, makes a massive difference to the handling of the car, definitely teins....
fai17 Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 << never mind springs, coilovers are the way forward, makes a massive difference to the handling of the car, definitely teins.... >> Only if you like your car skipping along the road.Much much stiffness.
st3ph3n Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 Don't coilovers lighten the old wallet by over a grand too?
Kevy1975 Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 Go for H&R Excellent look, great handling, not too harsh on the road. looks like this :- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/kevy1975/7.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/kevy1975/9.jpg Hope that helps you decide !! Kev.

gus the bus Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 Mate, I've just fitted the Tein ones as these were suggested by a few people on the Forum. Lowers by 35mm front and 25mm on the rear. Cost including Geometry reset was £319. I was originally going to fit the Prodrive ones but I think its down to personal choice really! Gus
