Default WHAT SHALL I DO?

am taking my 04JDM STI to powerstation for a geometry check next week , but am wondering if i should have eibach springs fitted at the same time. Do they realyl make that much difference and therefore really worth the extra??

Pippyrips,
I you don't change the springs, what settings will you be asking for on the standard suspension?

My other thread "Standard MY02STI Geometry settings" explains it better

IMHO:

Get them to fit the springs, a rear roll bar upgrade , bump steer mod and a demon alignment (to their specs) and you will have a great car.

Guess you spoke to 'Fuzz' (Andy)?
He strikes me as he knows what he is doing from previous posts.
After 3 years with a well tweeked Sti v3 these moves are well proven and used by many on here.

The car will fell it has another 100bhp as you will cover the miles soooooo much faster!

Take it easy at first, and then enjoy!

I have an impreza sport with eibachs, 22mm rear arb and powerstaion wheel alignment and it handles like you would not believe!!! I have not had the bumpsteer mod done as I was a bit short when I had the aligment and tyres done (Toyo proxies) but even without this extra the handling is unreal and a mile ahead of the standard car!!
