Default Classic lowering springs...Eibachs? Teins?

Ive got a set of Apex on the front, and TBH they are crap! Squeek & clunk like they dont fit properly

So - want a set of Eibach's or Teins or something decent but dont wanna pay fortunes as always!

Would prefer to collect within reasonable distance

I have springs off a Type R STi V5. They sit a little lower than standard springs.

Maybe about 20mm lower. When I had them on the car my 3" downpipe used to rub on average speed bumps. Now I have the standard springs back on it doesn't.

Don't know if thats much help!

I've got a barely used set of Eibachs on STi6 RA Lim struts, make me an offer. Dampers/topmounts have only done 50k, but one rear makes a few quiet knocking sounds (spring isn't at fault though, of course).

Also have the STi6 RA Lim standard springs available, which I think are the lowest that Subaru fitted to any Impreza. Ride height is similar to Eibachs.

For collection from Cambs/M11.
