Default Prodrive spring advice needed please

Hi

I just went to the P1 gathering at Prodrive (which was really cool) and I was able to buy some Prodrive springs dirt cheap. There were only two types there, red springs for classics and when I asked the blue springs were for 2002 models plus. I asked the prodrive guy will these fit a wrx hawkeye, he said he couldn't garentee them fitting.

I got them anyway hoping they would fit. Does anyone know or any advice if these will fit a 06 wrx hawkeye?

The only other details I can give are what are printed on the springs:

2 X EIBACH 12/00
22 300 550 60
E4-FDI-Z296A00

2X EIBACH 12/00
20 400 550 40
E4-FDI-Z295A00

Thanks

Dave Y, when i asked the prodrive guy, he said they will fit the 02 model and he couldn't guarantee the other models. Due to the sale price I thought I'd take the risk as I thought all new age might use the same springs.

I've looking on scoobyworld and scoobyparts at their suspension section. When you select the Eibach springs there is a different dropdown for bog and blob eye. That makes me think they require different springs.

I think the question needs to be: do all bog, blob and hawkeye's have the same springs?

I'm gonna call a mechanic on monday that knows scoobys inside out and see what he says.

Just found out they won't fit my hawkeye. They might fit yours but if not, you'll need like me new modified strut top mounts. The butch is they're £80 each. I've beef able to get second hand set

I would get a machanic to try (you shouldn't have to pay too much for him to try one). If they don't sell them mate. They work out just as expensive as a set tein springs.

Fingers crossed they fit for you mate. You've got a good chance
