I have a 98 WRX fitted with Eihbach springs.

The problem with the supension is that it is too hard. I can feel every pothole and manhole cover ripple up my backside and it's getting too much ( fear of getting piles).

Is there anyway of getting a softer suspension on the cheap?

Thanks

Jay

LOL, you should try the GAB suspension I have on mine, on its hardest setting it is unlivable with!!!!!

The softest setting is still hard to get used to

Try contacting TSL they fit the Eibach springs I am sure Graham could offer you some sound advice.

I had a similar problem - it wasn't the springs, but the shocks! I had some GAB kit too - trouble was, the car spent more time in the air than on the road - there were places where a milkfloat could have passed me! (Don't know how you put up with yours, Michelle, but if you need any spare struts, you can have mine - most OK, one front a bit sus). Changed to std UK spec struts/springs and all was well. (Sold the Eibachs I had tried to fix the problem to POC - hence his spare springs!). I don't think the springs on their own would make it much worse (better?) but I may be wrong.

Neil.
