We just bought my wife an 04 Suzka blue. the car had 12,000 miles when we got and I discovered it has an eibach decal on the radiator shroud. I'm trying to decide if the car acctually has the springs on it or not. It seems a little low in the rear but not alot. I know my STi sits lower int the frontthan other stock STi's because I autocross and break very hard, so I wonder if it was maybe just driven hard and they have settled. I have only had the chance to put it next to a new one on the lot so I know there was no settling on that ca and the wheel gap difference was about half a finger on the fron and a whole finger in the rear. Sorry I didn't have anything better to measure with. I guess what I'm getting at is are there any markings on Eibach spring or the stockers that I can identify to knwo for sure. We plan on autocrossing teh car or I wouldn't care.

P.S the car was bought in north Atlant so if you know for sure let me know thanks.

 

my recollection is the color of the eibachs is different from the stocks- and i think when they are installed thats the only diff...
----
now that i think about it maybe they are the same color! black-
if so, i think that the only way to tell for sure would be to uninstall and measure!

you might also do a real measurement of the height from the inside of the fender to the ground- meaure it with a tape after checking your air pressure in the tires to make sure you have it correct. i have eibach springs on mine and could also do a measure.

 

Well the springs are black like the one I saw on the car still at the lot. I was just concerned beause of the decal and I have acctually had some one comment on the low ride height. Maybe they really have just settled?

I appreciate your response. Any other takers on the subject?

 

Eibach prokit is black so you still could have them.

 

yup my eibach springs are black

 

Is there any kind of marking or names stamped on them?

 

hmmmm something like VA/HA or something like that which indicates front or rears, but they're pretty small, so it's prolly hard to find them behind the wheels, although they're a lil bit thicker then stock springs tho

 

yes alot of number and it will end with ha or va........and yes they are black springs......just get a flashlight and look at all 4 corners and you will probably at least see one springs with all the numbers on it.......

 

also the rear will look like it sits lower than the front and you will probably only fit 2 fingers in the wheel gap in the front........

 

Coincidentally, someone just posted a For Sale notice on an '03 GPW in Savannah, GA that has Eibach's and included a photo.... The change in ride height from stock appears to be pretty obvious.
