Josh_koi Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Morning all, will stock sti springs from a hawk eye fit stock classic sti struts? Failing that where can I find new OE parts for classics? There are some stock springs ending on eBay today just don't fancy the hassle of collecting to find they don't fit etc. Thanks in advance Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quit Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Sti struts are expensive for what they are I think ! Plus most sets are 20 year old ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh_koi Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 So nowhere sells OE quality stuff then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quit Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 well you wont get the sti struts brand new, showa stopped making them, I got bilstein struts on my wagon , What you wanting to use the car for / trying to achieve? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh_koi Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 I have struts and fitted mate it's just got lowering springs on it that I don't want. I want to achieve more stealth than stance, the ride is pretty harsh so wanted to see if stock springs would make much difference, I'm not a moanin old goat just think feeling every stone is a bit silly lol (not actually that bad) I do need top mounts though can feel the wobble when hitting lumps and bumps in the road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quit Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 just stick a set of uk turbo standard suspension on then ? Never really had a issue with it before ARB & tyres make the big difference on a scoob i personally think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh_koi Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 I've got some slightly larger profile tyres on order not massive difference 45's instead of 40's but doubt I could get a 50 in the gap lol I'll have a butchers around then, cheers mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I went for elbach springs (about £ 200 new) as they're progressive rate . They're about the same as my standard UK turbo springs in a straight line but stiffen up when cornering . They also drop the uk scooby about 30 mm to the same height as the sti set up . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
