Had a bit of an "Excursion" on the way to work this morning :cry: .Went sideways exiting a roundabout and overcooked it.Ended up hitting a pavement on the opposite side of the road and instead of negative camber I now have positive camber on NSF wheel !
Question is,Are STI struts the same as a Prodrive one.I was under the impression that a prodrive car had uprated struts compared to a standard sti ?:wonder:
The reason I ask is that my car went straight in to a subaru dealership for a quote to repair and they told me that all sti's have the same strut regardless of weather it has had a ppp .Not sure if it means anything but all my suspension legs are painted red .
Please help :(

I am almost certain that they are identical !

P.S. Press release only mentions cosmetic up-grades, not mechanical !

Does that mean the struts are the same and only the springs are different for the ppp upgrade ?:wonder: :wonder: :wonder:

NO ! PPP doesn't include suspension, Prodrive springs are sold as a set separately, at extra cost, not likely to need a new spring ! Even if the strut is cream-crackered !

As has been said, firstly PPP has nothing to do with suspesnion, but if you have the prodrive suspension its just new srpings (go to the accesories area of Subaru.co.uk for full details!)
