Question Simple Spring question.. Eibachs .. Any good?

Hi ,
Gonna get new springs for my WRX Wagon ,, Now that sadly Prodrive Springs are gone I'm looking at fitting a set of Eibachs , ( which I know made the Prodrive ones ).. Are they any good ? I dont want the ride to be hard, just want to improve the ride and handling.

Once again your opinions are appreciated.

Cheers,

Steve

I've got them on my Blob WRX. Ride is a touch firmer, but still comfortable, nice handling upgrade following ARB and drop links. Be sure to have your geometry reset after fitting them. Bob

Yes i had them on a classic
They are excellent.
I have a set lying about still I think.
(they are with my old shocks round a mates house so I will need to check he still has them)
100pounds and they are yours.

Not sure ...as I am a classic diehard
I have a feeling they are different - perhaps some one can definately confirm
Should have noticed your car is new age.
If you do need them at any point PM me as they are just lying about.
(I am away for a few days - if you dont get an immediate reply)
Cheers
Steve
