Hawkeye spring replacement
Discussion
Hi all, I've got a 55-plate WRX Wagon (SL), failed MOT with a cracked NSR spring - these were the Prodrive blue springs but i dont think they're available any more. I think these were a 10mm drop in height over standard.
Can anyone recommend a replacement set?
If one has gone the rest are on their way right?
The car is a daily so ideally i don't want it lowered/ crashy which is what most of the kits claim (up to 30mm), and i dont really feel like chucking a grand+ on coilovers.
Options from Whiteline, Pedders, Eibach....?
ICP dont seem to offer anything which is annoying as ive used them in the past and they were great.
Thanks!

Many thanks for your help guys - does this look right?

I'm ok with it being a bit softer at the back - the above kit reckons 157lb/in rears, I'm also running Excel G's
Says lifetime warranty, i'm assuming that doesnt cover the paint

Yes they will fit. However, they appear to drop the rear lower than is optimal. You may want to consider fitting these also https://www.paranoidfabrications.com/collections/s...https://scoobyparts.com/subaru-impreza-wrx-sti-coi...

Couldn't say for definite. You'd have to wait until all fitted and has settled. Might be worth fitting anyway as better to be a touch too high than too low.
However, I do have a set of unopened KYB Excel G rear shock absorbers for Blob/Hawk Wagon that I no longer need as I intend to fit the Bug springs. I think that I have unused rear top mounts also (maybe). I can do you a deal on these if you want to refresh all the suspension whilst it's apart and you are paying the labour costs?
I have an unused set of these offset front mounts also: https://pedders.co.uk/pedders-multi-position-offse...

Also, the rear spacers ship from San Diego so will take forever to get here, and i kinda need my car back on the road (although i'm enjoying the fabia loan car, all 70bhp of it)
