Can't really comment on the handling at the moment, as the car is booked in the get aligned soon. As for the ride quality, in general driving it's almost identical to that of the stock springs. The only real difference is for speed bumps etc which you obviously have to take slower as there's less suspension travel.

It's Prodrive's business and not mine to put that in the public domain

hi,
I can understand Dave's position

I spoke to Eibachs recenltly at a motor show about Eibach's bottoming out on my STi7. I was asked to Email them with the Spring kit no's as they have not heard of this happening. Anyway cutting a short story long my springs are wrong .... I asked about their after market kits and the Prodive springs kits. This was part of the reply I got.

Quote

"We are developing some STI7 spring kits with Prodrive, these however have not been finalised. The kits should be available through Prodrive in about April time. May I stress that kits available through Prodrive are in no way the same as the Eibach aftermarket kits we sell for Subarus. The Prodrive kits are made to Prodrive specifications and the final decision on rates and lowering rest with Prodrive on these kits.

Best regards" Quote off

Please remember this was a personal reply not a buisness quote an estimated date etc.etc. It's Prodrive job to release them and not Eibachs They may have to test the finnished artical prior to release but should give you a rough Idea of time scale

They're not ProDrive/Eibachs... but I'm pretty damn happy with them. See below:

I did try the aftermarket ones and my car handled like a barge. More understeer than a Sherman tank. I have stuck with the Whiteline anti-roll bar tho and that is set to max hard just how she likes it
I`m not going into any more detail than they are off my car now and I am waiting for a call from Prodrive. I`m expecting next Christmas

Anyone got a price on these or how long labour-wise to fit?

BTW cheers for the heads up Mike.

These springs are a vast improvement on my last setup
