I assume that you are comparinge them to stock WRX suspension? Stock WRX suspension was also much too soft and too boaty for me. Now I am on the STI takeoffs and ride is massively improved in terms of performance, cornering and general self-confidence, but they are a bit too harsh on bumpy roads. Don't you have any comparison of Eibach Pro Street to the stock STI suspension?

Not the best photo, must get round to taking some better ones.

Bought three weeks ago and i'm over the moon with it

Needs some TLC but mechanically it's in A1 condition.

What are the black bits on the trim? Mini bumpers? Yes, more pics please. Looks very similar to mine!

Haha, I suppose it might make a bit of a mess. Are they just glued on? Hairdryer, plastic scraper and some bug/tar remover would probably do it.

What's the rest of the spec?

Other than PPP and Prodrive 4 pot brakes, spec is pretty standard. Looking at turbo and couple of other minor mods but nothing crazy. Famous last words.....

Yeah, I've done a fair bit to suspension/brakes/handling and now I'm gathering parts for more power, aiming for 320bhp or thereabouts. Again, nothing too crazy, if that's what you call a 30% increase in power :-)

What are the Prodrive brakes you have? My PPP wagon came with standard Subaru 4 pots but I switched them with Brembos from an STI.

The Prodrive brakes are manufactured by Alcon and from what I've seen was a £2.5k extra on 330mm two piece discs.

It would be fair to say they work pretty well

Before the discs were swapped.

Nice! Look the same size as the Brembos but I've never seen Prodrive ones before.

Wagon finally out of the body shop and looking very tasty. Just put a layer of wax down on the Jaguar 'Storm Grey' colour. Wheels are on the shopping list next. Any suggestions welcomed.

Default New wheels on



Just got round to fitting some new wheels and tyres, Rota Grids. Old PFF7s will have the winter tyres fitted and will get a refurb. These Rotas do fill out the arches nicely.

Oh I like that wagon, lovely looking car. Those wheels and tyres give it a nice aggressive stance as well, what tyres are they?

Michelin PS4 (245/40/18) - ride quite quietly, even though they are much wider that the old Eagle F1s.

Heres mine, looks like the wagon thread could use some action and mine will be coming out of hibernation shortly.



UK2000 Wagon, Irish car from new. Bought totally standard and with a blown turbo. Nearly 2 years later it now has the following:
Rebuilt TD04
Blitz Nur Spec centre section and back box
P1 Wheels with Michelin PS4s
Silicone intercooler pipes
Forge BOV
Blitz panel filter
Godspeed discs and kevlar pads
Laile diff support brace
Front stront brace.
Bonnet struts (one of my favourite upgrades!)
Clear front indicators.
New rad and silicone hoses
Greddy turbo timer.
Polybushed steering rack
Polybushed gearbox subframe
Group N Dogbone
Group N gearbox mount
Alloy drop links
Braided brake lines
Master cylinder brace.
JDM STI wagon rear lights
OMP WRC suede wheel.





Coming out this month to get new complete suspension replacement from top mounts down, prodrive ECU fitted, group n engine mounts fitted, mudflaps fitted and 2 lovely prodrive sparco seats to finish it off. Must get the windows tinted also.
