good, take your time fitting them, go to youtube and seach Premium Auto Styling Red Overlays. You'll see the fitting guide.







Springs are normal STi ones. I upgraded to the PRODRIVE Spring in 2013. 10mm drop all round


Originally wanted the Pro-R Blue springs (same 10mm drop) but they don't fit our car unless you have a MY11-on as these had the SpecC suspension.
The Dealer at Derby did manage to get this confirmed with IM, hence them getting me the PRODRIVE ones.. which I like the look of better anyway on a 330s Prodrive tuned car

A possible change in circumstances may mean the 330s will have to go up for sale !

They do fit, However they were never signed off to fit the earlier cars is the answer your dealer would give you.

Here is my old hatch with the Prodrive springs, however it's running lower ET 18's, IIRC they were ET35 so do fill out the arches better than the standard ET53.

I'll check the box to see if there's a part number on it. They are made by Eibachs but don't get mixed up with those you see on ebay etc saying Eibachs Pro kit. They have about a 30mm drop.
That would looked almost slammed on my car lol



The NI plate I've had since my first car in '92.
Do they still have them like it still?

think the prodrive part number is listed in this thread a load of pages back, like on page 330, but if you can check to confirm that'd be great. I had prodrive eibachs I my old classic and they where great, made fatal mistake and bought eibachs pro kit for my hawk they lasted 2 weeks, far too soft. Replaced with h&r which were far better but looking at h&r for hatch they sit too low so your black prodrive eibachs look perfect.

They got rid of the 3 letter NI plates a few years back, can sti pick them up in dvla plate auctions though for about 250-350 for 3 letter 3 digit plate.

So after putting a deposting on the car i new the first thing to do was get rid of the ridiculous 5" straight through backbox the previous owner had fitted. Dont ask me why nor where the original 330s backbox went

anyhow 8ulldog had the Remus optional extra backbox available for very humble money

Pics of how the car arrived with its exhaust, its offending cannons and then the remus fitted

Those blue pro r springs are listed on pro-r's website.
So these will fit earlier cars then (ie my 2009) but are just not listed to do so?? It says on there about them being delivered to a subaru dealer. Is this still the case can I get springs for my car from a dealer and if so which one? any? There's only a small unity subaru dealer near me.

I would love a 15-20mm drop so would love a bit more detail on what exactly I should go for and where from? Cheers
The only other Eibach springs I had considered were the E7718.140 which give a 25mm drop all round and I'm wondering if that could be a bit too low.

Default Newbie dropping in

Just wanted to say hi and looking forward in picking up as much advice from you guys as I can.

Hopefully picking up my 59 plate sti typeUK on Friday, if the plate issue is resolved.

My plans so far are;
Wheel refurb or change
Splitter
Cat back
Panel filter
Lower slightly
And a remap

I'm in no rush to get these done but will as money allows

Any suggestions on companies and parts to use welcome

Cheers
Phil

those E7718.140 are the Eibach pro kit, id avoid those like the plague after my experience of them in a hawk sti

coincidently, does anyone know if the front shocks on a hatch STI are same as those on a widetrack blob/hawk sti? just cause i have a set of front sti shocks in the garage should the need ever arise to use them
