P1 or Red Eibachs P1 that Woodbutch was selling on here ?!
Basically I'm looking for a set of springs that will make a nice combo with Kayaba AGX (adjustable) struts.

Bonesetter,
Where I can get these from (mono tubed inverted struts)?
What other springs would you recommend (if I can't find P1's) to run with above ?

They are the red 'late' V5/6 STi struts. Plenty around used. Try and get a lowish mileage set so they've got some life left in them. If you find a P1 owner selling some you'll get the springs too 
There aren't many other good springs for the classic. Most are too soft, or over-lower.

I know guys and really appreciate but I'm after springs only. The shocks I've got at the moment covered only 7k so... And the other thing is that I never buy second hand ones. I'm looking for P1 springs to go with new AGX struts which will cost me around £500 so spending £250 for a second hand setup is not exactly what I want ATM.
p1Prodrive,
If you decide to sell springs only I'll take them.
Once again, Thank You VERY MUCH for the offer.

You're struggling to find P1 springs, it's not a perfect world, here is a low mileage set... £250 is relative bargain. I paid £1700 for new OE struts, and £170 for (luckilly brand new) P1 springs. They reckon after 40K miles you lose 25% of the damping action, equate that to new cost and I doing it again, I'd buy low miles used...

"...after 40K miles you lose 25% of the damping action" - hmmm ?
Personaly I can't agree with that. Most manufactures of shock absorbers recommend to replace them after 40-50k miles, so saying that after 40k you lose 25% of the damping action doesn't sound right to me. I'm ready to say that after 40.000 miles you'll have 25% of life left in them.
This is my personal opinion so correct me if I'm wrong.

I have some genuine red P1 eibach springs bought from a member off of here. Bit tatty as quite alot of the powder coating has fallen/flaked off.
Bought them to fit to my 98 wagon but realised the shocks where buggered so bought a complete P1 shock and spring setup.
PM me if you interested.
