Hi i am hoping someone can help just fitted some Eibach springs to my classic WRX and they actually raised the car 25mm instead of lowering it ?!?!
checked the part numbers and they seem to be the right ones for my car.
The part numbers are EW7705001VA and EW7765002HA,
can anyone shed any light on this at all ?

thanks in advance

Have you fitted front /rear springs at the right end of the car ?

Better check the old ones, see if they were lowering springs already.

Are they seated properly?
Don't forget they'll drop slightly as they bed in too.

The old springs may have been tired and sagging which meant the car may have been sitting lower than it should have on the original springs. Fitting the newer springs may have therefore increased the ride height!

yeah seated fine mate, yeah i know they will drop when bedded in but i am not sure they will drop 55mm ! lol

yeah valid point mate but they felt quite bouncy when pushing down on the car no firmer than standards !

thanks for all your replies and suggestions guys
