Default Eibachs on a Forester

I can get my hands on a set of Eibach springs for a classic turbo, will these fit onto a 02 Forester turbo? The code for these is 7706.140. Anyone fitted these to a Forester before.

Gump,
They will fit but you may get rubbing problems. The drop is quite far and the ride is allegedly choppy.

I asked Eibach a couple of years ago about Forester springs. Although there is nothing off the shelf, they said they could do one off sets for about £250 but they need the spring rates and lengths.
The rates could be kept the same to keep the ride but the springs could be made to haev a drop of 40mm at the front and 25mm at the back.
I still have the spring dimensions somewhere from my S/tb if you want to take it further.

Nick

Good man Nick, I was in with Pro Parts in Dublin yesterday and they have a set and will supply and fit for €400 which is about £300stg. I dont really mind the harsh ride once the handling improves. The modding trail has just begun. I will be getting your turbo fitted in the next few weeks with a downpipe and centre section so I will be freaking out the hot hatch brigade soon.
