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.....

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.

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.

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.
