Not sure what the kit number for the '05 WRX is but the kit number for the '06/'07 WRX is SACC2666.

ok thats great thanks.

I just phoned my local dealer, they said the 03-05 wrx is part number SACC2566 and are £195
and the 06-07 wrx are part number SACC2666(as you said fpan) and are £225
he also checked the sti part number and i think he said SACC2655 and were £225 but they show they come with 2 bumpstops.

He said thats all the catalogue mentions is just he 4 springs no bumpstops for the wrx and they didnt have any in stock to check (3 weeks to order tho)
Can anyone that has had the prodrive blue wrx springs for their 05(march) blobeye tell me the part number they had for them?
bit confused now

cheers guys

ok, even more confused now, i phones another dealer thats close to me and asked the part number for the 05WRX and i think he said SACC2655 and they do come with 2 bumpstops and they are £225 in vat.
but they had them in stock.
any ideas guys?

ok got a bit more sense now.
the part number SACC2655 is for the 05+sti (£225) with bumpstops
the part number SACC2666 is for the 05+wrx (£225) with bumpstops
and i think the part number SACC2566 is for the 03,04wrx (£195) without bumpstops

the dealer will be ringing subaru to confirm tomorow or monday to confirm with my reg no.

i asked about fitting and they said it show it as a 3hr job and will cost £229 + £225 for springs, wasnt sure if the geometry setup was incuded.
anyone had a similar price for this aswel?

Prodrive springs for an 06 STI are £225? I was quoted £300. You sure mate?

yes thats what both dealers told me, its because the ones for the 05+ wrx and sit come with bumpstops apparently and the older years dont. £30 for 2 bumpstops is a bit pricey but it is from a dealer after all.
you should ring another dealer see what price they give you.

Mikkel

Glad I read this thread, just been quoted £195

I had prodrive springs fitted to my 06 Wagon back in July,and was charged £468.25 supplied and fitted inclusive of VAT. It did include a full geometery set up in with that price. Transformed the car too.

The MY05 springs should be the same as the MY06/07, this is when the WRX got the inverted struts.

I may be being a bit slow here but I'm still not 100%.

I've got a 05 wrx blob eye, will Prodrive wrx springs from a 03 blob eye fit my car?

I'm a bit confused about the whole with/without bumpstop thing. As far as I understand the 03-04 springs come without bumpstops and the 05 with, all blob eye. Is this right?

And if so are they the same spring? i.e. Can I pick up a used set off an 03 and just get myself the bumpstops from the dealer?

Thanks

Joe

Well i have done a fair bit to it since posting this.
I have currently fitted 03STi prodrive red springs to the original wrx shocks on MY05 wrx. they fitted fine, seated great.
With the bumpstop, i wouldnt worry about it because if you buy a set of springs from tein or eibach they wont come with bumpstops.
because the shocks are inverted there is a bumpstop inside the shock anyway, so the one prodrive supply think is just an uprated item?
Id imagine a set from an 03 would fit fine, if not just sell them on!
hope that helps a bit more
