Question Front spings advice -MY00

My MY00 Impreza sits lower at the back end, (perhaps partly from lugging a towbar around for 3 yrs) and I'd like to lower the front to match - needs around 25-30mm.
Anybody advise a reasonably priced spring/supplier - which rides well??
If the spring is shorter does this interfere with the shocker?

Cheers

Nowt wrong, all classics are like that.

eibachs are good and drop around 25mm.

The spring itself is the same length as the original, however it is designed to sag an extra 25mm under the cars own weight (wound progressively).

So no, it won't interfere with anything aslong as it is fitted correctly.

The Eibach Pro-Kit is fantastic VFM and I'd highly recommend them. Next in line for me would be P1 setup - STI dampers + Eibach springs.

Thanks guys

I guess given that my rear end is already down (either sagged after 3 yrs or weight of my towbar brakets?), if I fit lower springs all round it'll still sit low?? - or will the stiffer rears take up the strain? Any clues anyone....

Anybody recommend good value supplier for Eibachs?
cheers

If it is 'sitting low at the rear' then the new springs will restore the ride height front and rear (less 25mm if you use eibachs).

Most places charge about the same.

You can order from the likes of demon tweeks etc.

I got mine from well lane turbo centre, about £170.
