£225 and worth every penny.
Much more aggressive stance, the bouncy ride has gone and its tightened up nicely.
Best £225 I've spent on the car so far.
Best bit is the annoying bounce has gone!

Negative.
Even thought they are Eibach springs, they are developed by Prodrive specifically for the STI, so they are only available from main dealer.
A guy posted here last week about having "normal" eibachs on his MY03 and Mike Wood from Prodrive started major alarm bells ringing cos the guy told Mike the ride height of his car, and due to the springs not being STI-specific, the car was literally sitting on the bumpstops, compressed. Not good!

Suggest buying the springs from a dealer but then get Falkland Performance (or similar...) to fit them.
Most dealers haven't the equipment to correctly adjust toe & camber on all four wheels.
For info I paid ~£120 for Falkland to fit replacement springs and set the geometry on my STI7. I know several of the guys from Aberdeen did similar.

Swines!!!!
Start a bloody group but right after I've had mine fitted!!!
Anyway, cost for supply and fit from main dealer is £399 inc vat.
This includes fully alignments and geometry set-up to Prodrive specification.
