As above does anyone know what a fair price would be for a full set about 1 year old........
Their from a Hawkeye and definitely Prodrive ones.
Cheers Gonzo.

I would not buy second hand springs, that's just me.

How do you know they are Prodrive? Are they maked up?

They are IRO £200 with SIDC discount. I wouldn't pay more than a £100 tbh.

They are being offered to be by a well known Subaru specialist, I think they should be red as well if there the Prodrive ones. He wants £120.00 for them

in that case if they are "fitted" for that price then imo its well worth it. if not, haggle

£120.00 was just for the springs, another £140.00 for fitment...! I thought that was reasonable! do you not

Not cheap then from a Subaru dealer! I have used Cheam motors before and although on the pricey side there very good and really look after you, they give you a very personal service if you know what i mean

I sold mine for £100

i got my eibach (2nd hand) for £180 fitted, so not a million miles away price wise, just ask him to knock down the "labour" charge, it only takes an hour to an hour and a half after all.

springs last for a lifetime. even if they have 100.000 miles they are ok. dont worry about that. as for the price, I sold mine (wrx blue springs) for 100 pounds

greatgonzo

So £120 from a dealer seems about right to me. Might try and haggle fitting costs down a bit.

price sounds ok to me. Just check, but I think its recommended that you have laser alignment done after, but i may be talking rubbish

makes sense and would not hurt. some geo set up places allow for a free check anyway so worth doing.

cyberguy

its 100% necessary to do an allignment afterwards

Cheers guys I am having set up with fast road settings and a 22mm ARB fitted. Aswell as the. Prodrive springs, can't wait!

It will be interesting to hear what difference it makes, as that is exactly what I will be looking to do next. The arb, aparantly is really noticable.

£100 is fair but fitting charge is very steep.

Your car will feel much better once the springs have settled a bit. Are you getting whiteline drop links as well?

The next best upgrade to these for handling on a UK hawkeye STi is the steering column bushes. I had mine upgraded when I did the drop links and rear ARB. Makes everything feel much more planted and the steering direct with great feedback.

I was told by a reliable source on here (think he used to work on the WRC cars) that the standard drop links on the 06-07 STI's are very good and do not need changing for a fast road set up.
Don't know anything about the steering bushes
I don't want anything that's going to transmit noise into the car, would drop links or steering bushes do this

Will keep you posted mate, Are you going for the Prodrive springs as well?

Mikkel

Nope. You have a spec D with extra sound deadening anyway, so if it's anything like mine it is quiet by Impreza sandards
