Eibach Pro Street Coilovers or Spec C
I want to upgrade the shocks on my MY01 bugeye WRX. I don't have much to spend and have been offered a good deal on a Eibach Pro Street Coilovers set.
I don't want too much of a harsh ride, so would it be worth getting some Spec C's or going for the Eibach's?
Cheers

Just my opinion, but:
Unless the coilovers are adjustable in compression/rebound there is no point choosing them over a conventional strut. I could be wrong but I think Eibach's are only adjustable in height, which serves no other purpose apart maybe for shows...
So I would go for the SpecC setup, unless you deside to spend a bit more and go for a set of ASTs or similar, and then you (maybe with the help of a specialist ie PS etc) can get the car's setup exactly where you want.
Hope this helps

AST + PowerStation = happiness.
Bit like this:
AST's under pressure.

Had Eibach coilovers on my newage, and the ride wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but they are only adjustable and not as advanced as powerstations AST coilovers with the compression/rebound etc , but they are a good coilover if your do the occasional fast road driving, and aint to into your trackdays.
I was in 2 minds with putting coilovers on, as I was put off with people saying that the ride was to hard with coilovers etc. But I was glad that I went with the coilovers as my car handled like it was on rails, along with powerstation geometry set-up, it really was amazing.
But if I was you have a ride in someones car that has coilovers to see if you really do need them, as it could be a expensive mistake if you dont like them!
