As long as you get the springs round the right way they are simple to fit on ramps, will take about 3 hours from start to finish; allowing for 2 ciggies & a coffee


Also helps greatly if you have a spring clamp compressor........

Question

How easy to fit Eibachs to a MY00?
Or should I leave it to a garage?
All help much appreciated.

Cool

Now got the Eibachs on, and my pagid discs and mintex pads, and me strut brace.
Also 60,000 mile service done at Subaru.
F**ck me, the handling and braking are in a new league.
Pure buzz.
Would recommend Eibachs to anyone, no loss of ride comfort, but huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge increase in handling.
Cheers

Now running Prodrive geometry settings.
This has to be one of the best mods possible.
Much better stability and cornering, its transformed the car.
Best mod to date.

Cant wait for me drop links and adj. ARB. Oh and me alloys.

Its not too bad, just make sure you mark everything up when you take it to bits. I forgot to mark the drivers side front, and it took a while to get it right. But I would say its pretty easy and well worth it.
