Hi Jeff.
I have just been through the same process trying to source eibach springs for a MY03 sti. Ended up getting the prodrive springs as no one has eibachs for them or they are not 100% if they will fit. Could go for the eibach coilovers?
BTW V.Happy with the exhaust.

Powerstation fit Eibachs as part of the stage 2 suspension mods. May be worth trying them.

i got wrx eibach pro springs on my 03 sti no problems all but the common knocking noise on the front just fit the rubber sleeve from your old rear ones on the front and no knocking.ride comfort is the same but corners alot tighter

I believe Eibach make the Prodrive springs.

Have been told before Eibach do not supply direct for newage STI, but stand to be corrected

i believe that too be true mate i fitted the wrx ones to mine pro drives a big contract maybe thats the reason they dont supply direct???sure there must be some logic behind the madness

Contrary to popular opinion, we haven't stitched Eibach up so they can't sell their own kit for STi.

The reality is that they are a German company and in that market the STi is not very popular so they can't justify spending the money on developing a kit that would be in competition with the one that we already sell. Our kit, whilst being manufactured by Eibach to our spec, was developed by us with no technical input from their chassis engineers. When their guys tried our kit they were very impressed and I guess thought they therefore didn't have a market for their own kit.

They do have a kit for WRX developed quite early in it's life but as an STi is heavier and has different dampers they don't recommend it for fitment to STi models.

Regards

Mike

Fitting Eibach wrx springs to an sti will make the std bump stops bottom out under cornering, not ideal at all.
That combined with incorrect rates as mike said, makes fitting wrx springs to an sti folly.

Sorry to kind of tear this off topic - but does anyone know what the rough price of Prodrive springs are?
