Why change the shocks ??

With Prodrive or Eibach springs they give quite a supple ride (apparantly)

All the Bugeye UK shocks I have seen look more red than pink.....LOL

Handling mods are a a bit of a personal choice....Being a pissy slowcoach on scooby meets I have followed / chased quite a number of Impreza's

By far the best driven was Steve Sherwen's Bugeye WRX with standard Shocks with Eibach springs.....I have a feeling this was due to Steve's driving as he took me around a track in a Skoda

Having no shame I copied his setup

I have followed / tried to chase a couple of standard Bugeye STi's and they seem to "bounce" a lot..I apologise for the non-technical language.
