Default RB320 Suspension

Thinking of selling my rb320 suspension currently on my 05 STi. Anyone know how much these go for second hand?

I'd say just over £200? Depends on condition mate there's a set of sti s204 pink adjustable suspension in eBay @£500 they are £2k just for the struts on there own
I'd take the blistein off you if cheap enough to keep as spares in the shed you'll be sorry you took them off to be honest best ride for roads unless you're going to use your car for track then coilovers it is

Would probably get more than £200 for them, but you're probably right about the ride. It's already insane over bumpy roads, couldn't have it any worse. I'll keep them for now.

I'm running same setup and the tein coilovers were a lot worse off in every way the rb320 setup is just right for the B roads aswell as normal roads also drive of the car depends on what size tyre your running??

Running 225/45 Potenza RE070's so a great road/track tyre but then it's quite hard lol. Awesome setup tho. Might upgrade my Rear anti-roll bar next to 22mm from what I think is 20.

Snap!! I'm running same tyre on a 235 45 best tyres for Impreza IMO have a chat with 2pot on here mate he knows his stuff on the suspension side of things and he will have all the answers you need as increasing the arb size will only stiffen the suspension even more making them bumps even harder

Yellow B 6 Billy's can be had for £460 brand new for a set of 4. £200 seems reasonable depending on condition.

That s204 set on eBay seems a good buy I would have snapped them up if I hadn't bought my roof flap

Do you mean Bilstein struts and black Prodrive springs?
Front - LE07/D5/001
Rear - LE07/D5/002

Eibach made the Prodrive rb320 springs, but there isn't an Eibach spring that fits the Bilstein rb320 rear struts.

There's a few sets of new rb320 springs around - £150
£100 to re-build each strut, at Bilstein.
£35 per strut if they need powder coating, again, at Bilstein

Are you having a laugh? They're Eibach springs. This is the OFFICIAL brochure from Subaru of the RB320.

Note the "Eibach sport spring kit".

Thanks mate. Probs won't be removing them and fitting anything else then. Unless they start to go, which shouldn't be for a long while.

Nope, he was quite serious, in laymans terms, the rear Bilstein struts where designed specifically for the RB320 and has a smaller spring perch than the standard STi strut, so Eibach made an RB320 specific spring set, but they are not available from Eibach, just as all Prodrive springs were made by Eibach, but only available through Subaru dealers and Prodrive at the time.

I can't believe the level of intelligence here. That's like saying, well Apple have produced a new iPhone but it's not theirs, even though they made it.

Unbelievable.

Neither can I...

Prodrive drove the design (but don't make springs), so got Eibach (who do) to make them, it's called outsourcing, everybody's doing it, well apart from Kellogs who don't make cereal for anybody else.

Correct, it is called outsourcing but that doesn't mean they've appeared from thin air. Mate, the official brochure from Subaru mentions they are Eibach springs. Regardless of whether they're not available from Eibach themselves, they still made them.

Leave him alone, he's confused. He wants to sell his suspension because it's too hard, then decides not to and that his next mod will be increasing the RARB...

It means if you want a set you buy them off Subaru and they get them off eibach but you can't buy them direct from eibach

Leaving aside linear v progressive and matching spring rates; Eibach-badged springs don't fit RB320 rear struts.
