Mine was the same when i lowered it with eibachs a couple of weeks ago, when it came down off the ramps it looked exactly the same as before it was done.

Compared some before and after shots on my pc and could see no difference, did seem to settle after about a week but still not a massive difference. Wish i had gone with H&R instead.

Eaibach's made a huge difference to my WRX when I had them fitted. The car was noticably lower as soon as it came off the ramps and settled down another few mm after a few days.

Before (crap pic):




After

Dan the eibach on mine noticably lowered the car - but your right the splitter makes a hell of a difference to them - i got mine on here 2nd hand for £80 notes i think, pund for pound the best mod i have done on the car.

it's worth mentioning that it does come at a cost - its pretty to catch the lip on curbs etc if you park up too close. I snapped mine in 3 places though were were on some rough off road stuff at the time!

Exhaust is going on in less that an hour!! Wahooooo!!!

Just read the following info in the "TSL Group N" backbox advertised on ebay:

"The 4 inch Tail pipe adds a slightly different deeper note and really looks the business on the back of the new age cars and fantastic on the "classic" Impreza.

The perfect compromise for the driver who wants a "BIG" look without resorting to the fantastic volume of the TSL Motorsport Firestorm and Ti-phoon."

p.s. Anyone noticed that the price of the Group N has gone back UP by £15 to £175? I guess they've proved so popular they've decided they must be selling them too cheap and they've whacked the price back up...
