Default Blobeye WRX lowering springs - What are the best options? Any before/after pictures?

Hey guys,

I don't want to deck the car by any means, just reduce the arch gap. So far I've only considered Prodrive springs (or the PCA Dyanamic versions).

Do you have any recommendations that won't make the car horribly solid to drive and would retain a comfort please? I think the PCA ones will likely be the best shout.

Pictures of Blobeyes lowered on springs would be much appreciated to please, just so I can see the drop.

Cheers guys!

Matt

Cheers!

Okay great, thanks chap!

It sounds like the PCA ones would be spot on. It would be tempting to drive to their location and ask them to install along with a geo set up too.

They work out of a fast fit garage called protyre in warwick, he works as a consultant so they do they work and he tells them what to do.

The set up he did for me is spot on and hes a really helpful guy.

PCA springs are all about driving dynamics rather than appearance. So drop is maybe only 20mm at most. Which is a good thing.

Peter did say there weren't much different between the eibachs and PCA when he set mine up, out of interest does anybody know how much he charges for the PCA springs?

Perfect, thanks guys! Sounds like these PCA ones are spot on for what I need. I'm not after a big drop, just enough to even out the arch gap and be a bit more solid, but nothing drastic.

He advised they cost; £221.39

Think that about what i paid for my Eibachs, fitted them myself (easy job really) then peter from PCA charged me about £120 for set up.

Like i say he is a top bloke def worth the drive over, but like i say i would have his springs if had the choice again. although if had standard wheels i wouldn't fault the Eibachs, just mine are a wide offset.

That's not bad going at all! So all in all it's around £340 for the springs and set up... although I'd have to pay for him to install them too as I'm not in the position to do this myself currently.

That's great, cheers for advice! I'll definitely get these when I can.
