Sti hatch prodrive springs
Hi.
I purchased some new struts for my 2008 sti hatch the other day with the intention of putting the prodrive springs from my old struts on them. When I removed the old shocks yesterday if found that the prodrive springs were in a bad condition, the black coating has peeled off most of the springs and they are very rusty. I was happy with the ride and feel of the car with the prodrive springs so was wondering if the spring could be refurbished or if I'd have to buy some more as I don't really want to put rusty spring on new struts! And can I still get prodrive springs? I'm only after the 10mm drop and can't find any other springs that achieve this!
Cheers

Powder coat them if they aren't too bad (zinc coat first), I did the same on the rear springs of mine (fronts I replaced as they weren't designed correctly i.e. too short and coils touched on full compression).

Do you have a pic of them?
How much were the shocks out of interest and where did you source them from?
