Default Where to get lowering spring for 05 sti ?

Hi,

Been trying to get this, and it seems neither Prodrive nor Eibach makes them any more....

Anybody know where I could get this ?

Google searching turned up that in the US they still sell it, but I have no idea if the US version of 05 STI is the same as the Euro....

I'd appreciate if anybody could shed a light.

Many thx.

I found a place where they import some Prodrive springs from the US, but the price is very steep with all the shipment and import duties...

Hi

I would go a little bit further and get coilovers fitted.

I had the eibachs fitted on my MY03 UK STI and they were fine ( if not a little bouncy ) but I had BC Coilovers fitted to my MY05 STI and the difference is massive.. Well worth the extra expense!

There is probably a group buy on them running still.

Hi,

What do you mean by bouncy ? was it worse than before ?
I can't spend more for now to go to coilovers... maybe next year or so, so just lower it for now, or put money aside for the coilovers hehe
