Default ADVICE ON KYB DAMPERS & EIBACH SPRINGS PLEASE

Hello
I have a 98 classic UK turbo impreza. I would like to upgrade my suspension on a budget and wondered if anyone has got experience of KYB dampers and EIBACH springs? Also, what sort of drop can I expect on a 10 year old 50,000 mile car..... and finally, if this set up is to be recommended, where is the cheapest place to buy from?
Thanks in advance for any advice

Can't go wrong with KYB as they make the OE dampers, Eibachs will offer a minimal drop but are highly recommeded and also manufacture Spirngs for Prodrive to their specs.

Consider uprating your rear ARB and f+r drop links to something like Whiteline then a good geometry set up and decent brakes and you'll be laughing

Forgot to add Subaru Impreza Turbo Parts, Tuning, Spares & Accessories - Suspension - Shockers/Dampers - AXG seem to to a cost effective upgrade

yes, make sure the kyb are the kyb agx adjustable kind. Get drop links fore and aft and a thicker rear roll bar. Followed by an alignment session. An all round improvement !
