Best thing to do is give Bren or Kev a call at APEX performance they will be able to talk you through all the options and most likely have everything in stock if you need anything..

If you have Eibach spings on the car that is only one step up from standard. Only other option is to go back to the std set up.

One step? The car has no give whatsoever i am constantly looking for the slightest bump on the road to try and avoid it, there is no way its either this or standard as you say as the car is as hard as you can imagine..

If it's that solid, it won't be Eibachs, mate - at least not Eibach springs with the std shocks. They don't make any hard kits for the Impreza as far as I know - even the coilover kit they do is only 25% uprated over std rates IIRC.

Revert to standard and see how you get on with that. I'm afraid none of these cars are exactly "soft" though!
