Default STI eibach springs v3

Does anyone know if eibach springs will fit a 1996 v3 STI or better still fitted them themselves, is there any improvement in ride quality, any help would be great.

Yes they will fit, but they are not designed for the STi. You'll probably find the ride height is much the same (so don't buy them if you are looking to lower your car). As for spring stiffness, see this:

NorthUrsalia.com: Spring Rate Chart


They're softer than your standard springs. I wanted to get STi pink springs for mine, but couldn't find anywhere to get them.

I had these fitted to my 97 v3 STI along with solid DL's and ARB's and Anti Lift Kit,
If anything it was slightly higher than standard, they felt just as stiff as standard but were much more predictable as part of the package, and brilliant as a road package.

It just looked like it was on stilts

Has anyone else have pictures with eibachs fitted so i can get a better idea of ride height, an STI would be of great help, i don,t want to go through the trouble of fitting them only to regret it.
