  1. I may be talking complete BS on this one, so if anyone reads this & agrees then please correct me.

    I've read, and heard, in the past that Eibach DO make the springs for Prodrive, but unlike the springs that Eibach make & sell to other distributors the spec is slightly different for the prodrive ones. I've also heard reports of people having the eibach springs fitted to their cars and then having a knocking noise, possibly because the spring isn't sitting in the cups at the top of the front suspension properly.

    As I say, might be total jobbies.

  2. I've got a blobeye WRX with the Prodrive springs fitted - Subaru dealer fitted them for me + put the recommended Prodrive geometry settings on the car - total price (including the cost of the springs) was £388 from memory.

    They lowered the car approx 25mm at the front and 20mm at the rear, which was fine for me. I have the STI front bumper winglets on my WRX + a Scott Lowe splitter and it doesn't catch on speed bumps. I do need to watch if I go up/down a steep hill onto a flat surface though, and I have damaged my splitter by parking too close to the kerb once.

    My car also has 18" wheels on it, which helps fill the arch a bit better.

    Handling was definitely improved, but I didn't notice much difference at all in comfort - it's roughly the same as it was before. I don't have any uprated droplinks or uprated ARB's etc - just the springs.

    Bear in mind too that the springs may take a few days to 'settle' so don't immediately think your car hasn't been lowered by much as soon as the springs are fitted.

    Quite a few people on here have Tein's fitted to their cars, which make your car quite a bit lower than the prodrive ones.
