I was looking around at all the performance springs and decided I want to get the Eibach Pro Kit. I want some first hand advice about these before I put my money down to get them. I also want to top them off with some KYB AGX Shocks/Struts, does anyone run this setup? if so let me know how it handels cause I have a "99 L" and its stock suspension is the crappest bunch of crap that ever crapped a freak'n turn.. Sorry about that but I back road race and I need something that can handel hard tight turns and that won't bottom out..cause I live in New Jersey pot hole capital of the world..

 

i have eibachs on my 03 impreza. the back end will sag a little.


But for the cost, eibachs and kyb's are a pretty good deal for it's performance gains as far as suspension is concerned.

 

So the Eibach's give you a torque sag in the rear that sucks..but as for ground clearence I wanted to know if the 1.5" drop going to give me a nice stance while keeping me well away from the ground. Cause I have a slammed honda close to 3 inch drop..worst thing I ever decided to do..

 

AFAIK the drop for the Prodrive springs is nowhere near 1.5"; much more on the order of 1" and 3/4". Anything more than a 1.5" drop on an Impreza/Legacy chasis is a recipie for disaster; you will wreck your roll center and roll axis and handle much worse than stock (not to mention go through rear tires like mad).

 

I'd be happy with just a 1" drop, even if I don't get the stance as long as I get good performance thats waht really matters. God knows I don't want bottom out my scuby..

 

Then my adivce is go with prodrive springs...the stance is still good and u get better ground clearnance than other aftermarket springs. but if you want a good performing suspension package that will still give you good clearance but not much of a drop and great handling, look at this...http://www.jdmpartstx.com/

these will get in spec c struts n springs for imprezas for good prices.

 

The JDM V7 swap does look intresting and the prices are that bad..I'm gona have to wait and see when they get some in stock..

 

Hey I just read your email and wanted to suggest what I did. I have a 2001 WRX and I recently purchased a set of Pedders suspension of their performance springs and GSR shocks. I couldn't be happier. I researched the Eibach and found that Pedders were the same or better quality product. They offer a two year warranty and saved me a couple bucks on the pricing. Had them installed by a local shop and the car handles awesome! I'm very impressed with the ride and performance, you may think about a set of them. Can't help you with your New Jersey pothole problem!!
