Teins' turned out to be a little bouncey and a Set of P1 Eibachs tried in the meantime put the ride height back up too much for me, so ordered these from The Land of The Rising Sun :
Their going to clash terribly with my Orange ARB though !!!!

Bored of the colour 'Green' so fitted something 'Pink'
Ride Height is now approx. 5-7mm higher on the STi Pinks compared to the Teins despite being a shorter spring.
Therefore, this proves that the Spring Rates of the STI Pink are higher then the Tein's.
Compared to the P1 Springs tried previously they sit approx. 10mm lower.

Used the GoPro for a bit of a comparison.
Footage is the same stretch of road, taken at approx. the same level of attack.
Of particular interest in the Tein's reaction to the drain cover.
It has an initial compression and further bounce then hits the drain cover.
The STi hits the initial compression, doesn't give a second bounce and then takes the drain cover a lot smoother.

Took the car out for the 1st 'extended' drive on the STi Pink springs to get more of a feel then the industrial estate blast last week.
Still pleased with the results. Around town it's a bit more jiggly but on a run if feels great, with turn-in much improved and much reduced bounce from the rear.
Took a few piccies when we got back to show how it sits.

The hammerite underseal is better then the tetrosyl version for applying by brush.
Then several coats of silver smoothrite.
It's a shame with the Jap imports to stick gloopy underseal up in the arches, but it's gotta be done to preserve them really.

Looks fantastic Scott... Cars getting better every time I see new pictures posted.
There's some great rust treatment products available plus stone chips and paints around these days for the arches, part of the trick is keeping them clean afterwards and that sticky muck that's sprayed on them does not help to do that at all.
I admit I may have gone a little extreme

You might be able to use the Newage slip ring and all the wires, but I was in a rush to get it on, and will double check over Christmas, as that would be a better way to do it.
