Default 2002 WRX sti (bugeye) which springs??

hi,

my car seems to be missing from every eibach advert i find. its 2002 wrx sti type uk (bugeye) , every advert lists springs for 2000-2002 wrx excluding sti, or 2003+ wrx sti.

can anyone shed any light on this ? is my car the same as 2003+ as i thought it was just a facelift front end and different lights?.

and while im here i may aswell ask about rear anti roll bar again my car seems to be the ugly duckling of the subaru family and got forgotten about. same fitment as 2003+ ?

with some research it seems the rear top hats are different on my MY02 sti, so the springs dont fit,

would 2003+ top hats fit a 02.

After years of having either Eibach's or Prodrive springs on my several Impreza's, I really don't think you will find they are an improvement over the OEM springs. (I am having my oem springs refitted to my jdm sti next week) and taking the softer Prodrive ones off.

The sti oem springs are very hard to better, that's why Prodrive and Eibach have recently stopped making their springs as they admit the original ones are difficult to improve upon! (according to Richard Bulmer, Tracktive Solutions).

Having the same problem here - just noticed Prodrive springs are no more on the site, I have found a set of Teins on Scoobyparts for an 02 Bugeye Newage 01-02 - lowers the Sti version less due to OE set up.
