I've just had Eibachs fitted and a full wheel alignment at TSL. The car sits and handles much better now.
I'd recommend it to anyone

Same here Eibach's. Picked 'em up for 120 on BBS and cost about £100 to fit with re-alignment.

Another one here - had the new Eibachs fitted to my MY02 WRX plus wheel alignment done at TSL about 3 months ago - cost about £350 all in and has made an amazing improvement to handling as well as (I think) making the car look better by removing the huge gaps in the arches. - Oh, and the alignment also increases tyre life

cheers

I'm a TSL bod too... well worth it - really improves steering feel and body roll - and reduces understeer greatly.

You'd be surprised how badly the camber and toe is set up by the subaru dealer!!!! Get the alignment at the same time.

Well,

To even things up (), get the Geometry sorted at Powerstation (about £100). On top of that, a set of Eibachs (either the Prodrive Eibachs from a Subaru dealer (about £160ish) or a set of Grey Eibachs from Powerstation (about £130). Both springs work well on the WRX, the "Grey" Eibachs being slightly firmer than the Prodrive Eibachs.

Other good cheap options are Whiteline Solid Rear Drop Links (and uprated bushes) for about £80, the Whiteline Anti-Lift Kit (about £130) and a Whiteline uprarted rear Anti-Roll Bar (about £130).

Matt

Note: All prices off the top of my head but Powerstation can supply and fit some or all of the above
