Tein springs fitted to my Hawkeye STi and it sits nice and level now... before the front looked a lot higher than the rear.

I think its a 37mm drop at the front and a 25mm drop at the rear.


Cheers,
Grant

Fitted them to my last 2 Scoobs without any issues.
The front and rear were both lowered by around 30-35 mm which makes the car look far better and handled much better as you say.

dhforever, is yours a wagon? Saloon springs are not stiff enough at the rear and will always droop the heavier rear of a wagon...
