I'm going to be buying some on Monday, but i just wanted to know where the best place was, or people's reccomendations? I'm having a 40mm drop if that's any help??
I looked on eBay at those Jamex springs, i've emailed the seller to see if they can get or do 40mm's, i looked at the provn products place and have emailed them and i looked on the need for spped website. any other places i should be looking?
Cheers!

Well, i got some. eBay Springs. Groomy contacted me initially and he confirmed that they would fit a 480 (despite not being listed), so i mailed the guy.
A little search on Rohans behalf found that they are made by KYB who are pulling out of the lowering spring business. I called the company and spoke to Andy Wells (who is selling them on eBay), and he has sold me a set for £35 inc. P+P.
If anybody's after a cheap set of springs, get in touch (although he is away until Friday now)-they retailed at £90, but now they are just clearance stock.
Fingers crossed they do bloody fit now

.
Just to say that standard springs on the Impreza Turbo have been made always by KYB.
Just to give some idea of the quality.No doubt Dan will be glad that these aren't quite so hard!Mind you he does have some unusual fetishes.He's from Lowestoft you know!

Hi.
Now they've bedded in a bit, they are starting to come into their own, so to speak. The ride in general is quite comfortable-the only real difference is feedback from road bumps etc. 70+ on the carriageway seems no different to normal, but throwing it round...er, i mean, turning corners is alot more fun. The only real thing that bugs me is the fact that it's harder getting out of the car 'cos you seem so much closer to the bloody ground!
40mm drop makes it look really agressive too. Cannot knock them for £35, not at all...
