Default Blobeye boot springs...?

Can anybody help in locating where I could buy some STI saloon boot springs as it doesn't really lift at all now with the lever pulled? I have been searching on google and eBay but had no luck, does anybody know where I could get some of them?

I realise I could get them from a dealer but I'm out of the country and wanted to have them delivered painlessly from eBay etc so they were waiting for me on my return.

Am I searching with the wrong wording or something?

Maybe try torsion springs. That's what they are at the end of the day, more than like a conventional spring.

Cheers, getting closer but they all seem to be in the USA....maybe I will have to risk a breaker. Not the ideal option but it may be simpler if they are better than mine.

Mattybr5@MB Developments helped me out with torsion bars and spoiler supports that mount the torsion bars, he had them delivered in a couple of days too. Try him.

They are called torsion bars, look for those or you'll not get the results you want, anyone breaking a newage sti should be able to supply, but why not get a quote from a main dealer. Try Gary at Proven Subaru in Haslemere, he's in their parts dept. 01428 647096
