Thumbs down

Dave,
Don't bother with the Eibach springs IMHO they are only worth having on a UK car.
There seems to be a mis-match in the spring & damper rates if you use the Eibach springs on an STi5.

I swapped straight back to the std. springs and added the MRT 22mm adjustable rear ARB + solid links instead.
This has transformed the car.


Kind regards,

Tim

Dont u have the front arb as well
I have the rear arb,links and front ALK but I find that in the wet the car just slides out - is your rear arb adjustable

Plus its a bit wallowy at high speed

When u next over at Bobs - so that I can compare

U saved me the outlay on the Eichbachs! - thanks

Your VF22 ok now? - I hear yours failed as well as mine!

I currently have HKS springs on Bozz speed dampers on my Type R.
The car sits very squat,and has almost eliminated body roll.
I also have fitted ALK, front and rear MRT ARB and rear solid links.
This has transformed the car no end,can`t really say about the wet handling as i haven`t really pushed it that hard in those conditions.
