Default Prodrive lowering springs - help needed

Could anyone tell me whether a set of prodrive lowering springs which will fit a 2004 model, will fit my 2001 bugeye?

Cheers, Phil

I fitted JDM STi shocks to my 2001 wagon with Eibachs. The rear top mounts needed changing as a wagon is different. but the springs fitted straight in.

If you need it, I have prodrive fast road competition springs on mine and have the full printout from Prodrive of how the geometry on the car must be set up to get the best from the suspension

Fitted mine on the drive. Get a big f'ing bar as the strut nuts and bolts can be a real pain.

I then drove very slowly to the garage to get the geo done. I then spent some more money and went to Powerstation and had them do it. What a huge difference, they transformed the car actually.

Find out if the top mounts are different on your NA car. I don't think so but give a Subaru Dealer a ring.

Subaru sell the Prodrive springs as a set on their web site in the WR Sport bit, that may be the answer.
