If you use the PCA dynamics blob/hawk wrx springs, with your bug dampers, you're going to need rear blob/hawk top mounts and rear washers/ spacers.
Those springs, on a bug, will not be quite as lowered as a blob/hawk wrx would be, as the bug is lighter.
Change the bump stops at the same time - as the pca springs come with internal bump stops, for inverted dampers.
Front stops - Febi 27848 - use dome side up.

Rear stops/dust boots (if using the later blob/hawk rear top mounts) - KYB 910046

Spacers required (if using bug rear struts, with blob/hawk rear top mounts) - http://www.fastwrx.com/products/tic-...-strut-spacers
Spacers - Pedders version - don't know what material they're made of? - Fitting Instructions PEDDERS 5052 - Pedders Suspension UK

ok if I put H&R on for A bugeye are they a direct swap. will be having some bilstein b16 by the end of the year. but with the fronts being coil bound sport springs will do for the time being.
