I got my Koni's from Dayle and the Ground Control coil-over kit from Ground Control. the Eibach springs don't seem to come anymore in same ratings mentioned by Porter, which were 380 fr/ 325 r. The rears are either 230.64.49 (0900.250.0280) or 230.64.55 (0900.250.0315). Note that these are very broad metric conversions; 55 kg per cm translates into 307 lbs per in. rather than 315. The fronts are either 0800.250.0350 or 0800.250.0375. The 350 arrives marked as 200.64.59, which is really about 330 lb/in. Trying to maintain Porter's ratio, (Dayle's ratio is 200 lb/in fr/170 lb/in r) between front and rear, and accepting that pothole country might favor a slightly softer spring, I finally chose the 230.64.49 rear (274 lb.in) and the 200.64.59 fronts (330 lb/in).

Great place to buy OEM parts is http://www.subaruparts.com. Terrific drawings showing exactly the relationship of the parts. Pretty good prices, too. Source for Energy Suspension Bushings: http://www.suspension.com/s.b.bushings.htm, but you have to order by telephone, no on-line ordering, just a catalogue.

I have a pair of the Eibach 230.64.55 rears, if anyone would like to buy them. $80 for the pair.
