sulk Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I'm on eibachs and love em, though they may be hard to find now. They stopped making them, and there was a small run made last year, but I'm not sure how many there are kicking around now. You may have better luck with the ralliteks, as they are similiar to eibachs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blaze741 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 theres also a kit available on here branded by fbp, epic engineering springs. They are similiar to the eibach pro kit. search them (epic engineering). =] not too much drop either from what i've read. Or tien H-techs are widely used as well. ralliteks too.

Vinny78 Posted March 15, 2011 Author Share Posted March 15, 2011 ya i was just looking at ralliteks, im thinking of going with them actually now! Will they be ok on stock strut housing or am i gonna be blowing struts left and right? Rallitek good choice ya think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burnout8488 Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I think you should be safe with Rallitek/Eibach/other equivalents. You might knock 10-20,000 miles off their total life, but I personally wouldn't mind that considering they should last 70-90k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEE-OTTO Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I would say go with Eibachs or H techs on stock struts they are classy and wont wear them out like other springs. Your car would look good with those black wheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinny78 Posted March 15, 2011 Author Share Posted March 15, 2011 ok i also saw cobb tuning lowering springs just so many choices dont wanna make wrong move im sure you all understand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.sane Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I believe COBB's are discontinued. And the front drops pretty low, I wouldnt recommend it. I'm running Vogtland's progressive springs. Their specs are very similar to Eibach... Advertised drop: 1.2 inches front and rear Front Rate: 3.4 - 4.5 kg/mm Rear Rate: 3.1 - 6.5 kg/mm I've had them with stock shock absorbers for 2.5 years now, however they will be replaced by Koni's soon.

blue subie Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I actually had Cobbs until I switched them out for coilovers. It actually is not that low at all. I have used Tein in the past and Cobbs were much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBlack-V Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 here's a table that gives a breakdown of all the specs between different springs available for the legacy: http://subiwiki.com/wiki/index.php/BL_%282005-2009%29#Handling_Modifications Thats an awesome site for info thanks I am on Cobbs (I like them) and this is how my car sits its def NOT a 1.75 front and 1" rear. There is a equal 3" gap front and rear with my Cobbs and when I had my 04 WRX I had Eibach's, I did love them however they were lower than my Cobbs with about a 2 finger gap all the way around. http://i529.photobucket.com/albums/dd340/Jay04WRX/001.jpg http://i529.photobucket.com/albums/dd340/Jay04WRX/006.jpg I was 0.
