does anyone atually run eibachs? seems everyone just goes for the prodrives, now ive heard arguments for both, just wanted to see the diffrence in drop really.

 

problem is with tien's is that when there on i think the wheels get lost in the arches, at least with the prodrives or eibachs you still get the subaru "look"

 

mines on eibachs, view my scoob

 

that looks cool man! ive just thought though i dont even think u can get eibachs for the sti can you ?

 

Having looked at your car "red2" for the last few minutes i have concluded it is by far the best red scoob i have ever seen! Well done.

 

 

Got to agree with that statement

 

Red, is it me or do you have 2 black wheels one side and 2 white wheels the other

Jason

 

cheers lads just seen you have a sti so i guess its gonna sit differently

jason no mate got two sets white ones on now (both sides)

 

I'm trying to choose between eibachs and teins for my wrx but cant make my mind up, the teins lower the car more at the front which I like ???? anyone help make my mind up??

 

You still not made your mind up? Go for the Teins, ride quality great, handling great, looks great, what more can you ask for?

 

thanks me old fruit

I've spent the past week wearing a hole in my head from the constant scratching and wondering

think I'll be going with the teins, just convinicing a mate that getting him ti help take my car apart is a good idea lol

the only issue I can see from doing it myself is not having any spring compressors, is there something else I can use?

 

Spring compressors won't break the bank and are handy to have kicking around for the future. I got mine for £20. I suppose you could use some soft wire and twist it tight but the proper tool makes the job 100 times easier.

 

tats good to know, where is a good place to get them from?

have yu had yur geo setup yet or are your wheels still pointing in funny directions

 

You could try Halfords or Autosave if you have them nearby, I would imagine any of these places would have them. You could also try ebay. Mine are Draper ones and do the job just fine.

I am waiting to order an Anti Lift Kit to put on first then I will go for the geo setup, hopefully in a couple of weeks. Wheels don't look too bad at the moment, I also have some camber adjusting bolts to go on too so will get it all done at the same time. Hopefully see and feel a nice improvement after.

 

do you need different camber bolts to adjust the camber or can you use the standard ones?

 

The standard bolts on the rear are not adjustable, so if you want to adjust them you will need new ones. One bolt per side, the top one. The front camber as standard is adjustable so not needed. I got two sets, one set for the rear and a new set for the front so all adjustments would match. Not sure if this is really important but thought it was a good idea. Aparently you can put two adjusting bolts on each strut and get double the adjustment but I just when for the one.

 

I have said it loads of times before........Tein S Tech.

Really make the car sit as it should do and handling feels so much sharper.

 

thats made my mind up lol looks amasing!

 

Result! One down, one to go!

These are identicle to mine and work really well. They have a good hook to hold the spring.

 

is that on 18 inch wheels?looks good

 

red2 gawjus scoob

 

[is that on 18 inch wheels?looks good ]

Yeh, 18" PFF7's

 

my rear end sits slightly lower than standard because i have a heavy sub and 2 amps and an mdf sheet in my boot, as well as the spare wheel and i.c water spray lol. would it sit too low if it were lowered on the teins?and ive got a front lip splitter, but im on 17s, would i catch it on speed bumps and the like?

sorry for going off thread folks

 

Mine had a front splitter and it never caused me any issues.

 

Not a blobeye but my bug has Eibachs, see my profile for some pics.

 

what a beauty red2 simply stunning

 

should be ok, teins lower the front more than the rear

 

all i need now are some camber bolts
