Default EIBACH OR TEIN??????

Could anyone give any advice on which of the above are the best of the two for 2002 WRX? I don't want the ride to be too hard as my car is road use only.

Thanks

What about Prodrive springs, they're Eibachs set to Prodrive rates.
Nice for everyday use and not bad in the twisties

I've got the Eibach's for my MY02 bugeye....I bought them to get rid of the "car on stilts" look

They ride pretty much like the OEM ones most of the time untill the tarmac gets really chewed up (like some of my local roads) when at low speed (30MPH) I really need to hang onto my chest wig !!

OK for adults but not good if you have kiddies in the car !!!

Did you notice any difference in the handling?

From any dealer for the WRX 02 (03 onward are a different part no)


Spring Kit - WRX, GX only.
Part No. SACC2544
£ 195.00 (inc. VAT, exc. Fitting - unless otherwise stated above)

Remember to budget for fitting and a geometry set up.
Got these fitted to my 04 cost about £400 all in from Stam Palmers in Carlisle.

I got my eibachs at the same time as a geometry set up by TSL what improvement is due to the springs and what is due to the geometry is anybody's guess !!

When I got my Scooby it had an allarming tendency to drive into the nearest hedge on the left hand side, either while braking or just driving along ! For the 1000 mile run in period I got used to driving with my right hand permanantly turning right

I would guess the TSL geometry sorted things out more than the springs...
