Just begs the question why they don't fit them as standard really. It looks so much better on the Eibach springs. If it is anything like my MY01 WRX, it made a serious improvement to the handling as well.

Hi Rob!

Car looks amasing, probably the nicest STi 7 ive seen!

Those prodrive wheels look much better than the standard ones.

Hope to maybe catch you at some event soon

I'm thinking of getting your set up on my STI 8. How does it compare with the standard ride feel mate?

Cheers Kosy!

Steve, I've also had fitted the Anti-lift kit and rear anti roll bar with uprated droplinks.
The handling has now transformed the car into something it should have been from the start, it's now a point and squirt car like an EVO.
I'm not one for great descriptions however ride wise it travels over rough roads without the bone shaking as before, seeming much more one with the road and so sure footed it's unreal. Well worth it IMHO!

Cheers,

Rob.

Looks superb Rob, pity they don't come like that from the showroom. How do the 18's ride on our Roman roads?

The pink Sti badge would be a finishing touch!

Quality!!

Mrksti8, no I bought the mudflaps on here from a chap called Megabusa who had made a few sets, I'm not sure he's making anymore though.
I've also heard that Subaru UK are not selling the large mudflaps because they were not selling, not surprising at £400!!

Andy, I had the 18's on b4 the springs and found them fine on our roman roads, especially on Goodyear F1's which transformed the wet handling.
