Just got my new 03 WRX and thw wheel arches seem a little distant from the wheels

My local dealer knows nothing of the Prodrive spring Kit for the WRX03.

Anyone fitted an Eibach kit ?

if so, where you get it from ?, are you happy with it ? got any pics ?

Thanks

Recently fitted the "Eibach Pro Kit" to an 02 lowers it by 30 mm, quite good value something like £164 plus vat.

Though does exactly what it says - lowers the car.

Handaling is not improved in anyway, its not adjustable its a lowering kit

So can you get a lowering kit for the 03 that lowers & improves handling?

I have the Eibach kit on my Sti7.

The car seemed more stable than the std at Knockhill last year. The lowering certainly has helped my car, how much better? - Impossible to tell.

looks better as well IMHO.

TSL have the 03 Eibach kit fitted to their Sti8. I have seen it with my own eyes and it looks good. I think it worked out at £380 ish inc fitting and 4 wheel alignment. I belive they have the kit for WRX 03 as well
