Fantastic. It'll feel like a different car I reckon. The suspension should make a massive difference.

Collected the car today, all good.

KYB`s are adjustable currently set on 2 (mid setting) can go to 4. Ride felt great and very planted in the corners.Will have to play with the settings whilst Liz is still out of action

Only downside is the eibach springs sit the car higher than the HR`s where the ride height looked spot on imo.Although the up-side could be the wagon will go on the drive now,plan to try in the daylight with H on the floor checking!
The wagon needs a good clean but if the weather holds tomorrow I get some pictures up.

Nice one.
I had kyb agx for a while. They were quite firm even on middle setting.
The car will be about 15-18mm higher on the Eibach.

Pictures of the front and rear adjusters on the kyb`s




With the eibachs not lowering the car as much as the HR`s the wagon just makes it onto the drive now.



Gave Wayne a wash, finished just in time for it to start raining

Fantastic. It's such a nice looking car. So, you now have a lovely blob and a very rare sorted JDM STI wagon. I'd garage it and get yourself a run around if I were you lol.
