Default Eibachs for 04 WRX?

Hey guys,

Could someone tell me if they do make the Eibachs for the 04 WRX? David @ APi was under the impression that they didn't make them, but I thought I'd find out in the meanwhile, saves him searching around

Cheers for your help,

ScoobyDoo69

We established that one... but they cost a fair bit more than your standard Eibachs... lol

Default Eibach

Wont put their name to a set of springs for this model due to them knocking when fitted with standard shocks hence why they are happy to let prodrive put their name all over the blue one(WRX fitment) thus no warranty issues or claims. I should know I have that exact setup
To be honest they only make a little noise going over speedbumps its not like a great loud clanking noise it was just a little unsettling when I first bought the car

Would you still recommend the upgrade despite the noise?

All you need to do is take the plastic sleeves that go around the bottom coil off the original springs and fit them to the Eibachs and this will stop any noises

If the Eibachs are already on the car it only needs jacking up and they can be easily fitted.

Default Yep

Id still recommend them and sometimes the plastic bits dont always dampen all the noise out as I have them on mine and still hear the clunk but then agin they are up for renewal at 3 years old and 50000 miles
