Default Classics Lowered On Eibach Springs

I know they are a great spring, but wanted to see how they make the car sit before ordering a set

They make the car sit like this, on 17" rims:



However I found the Eibachs to be way to soft for track use, and have since moved on to D2 coilovers.

That's interesting to know, as i hope to be doing quite a bit of track stuff next year.
Might have to re-consider my options.

Gary, Before I chose my springs (H&R) I did think about getting the Eibachs, but they looked not that much lower than stock, plus her *** was in the air So I chose the H&R. They are a firm spring. I don't know how they compare to the eibachs, but I like them. Theres a guy on ImprezaSport.Net that first ran eibach's then wipped them off infavour of the H&R and ...... he never looked back.

This is mine



**Please bare in mind I have KYB AGX struts**

This spring, strut set-up really complements each other.

eibach lowering springs (dont really lower at all - just stiffer)

kyb agx adjustable gas shocks

nice firm ride, only for fast roas use maybe. not firm enough for the track imho anyway.

p.s. still waiting for a call mate. no time scale

Lol, just a bit!!!
STI pinks are out the window, i have been advised they are far too soft.
Might go back to the Tein S Tech's. Was told they are very firm, but thats what i need really.
Decisions decisions!!!
