When I got mine fitted it was only a 10-15mm drop, but the difference in the handling with just the springs changed was huge.
Well worth the cost. imho

The 330s had no suspension upgrades tho, it should be as per a normal STI... isn't it???

Prodrive quote 10mm front, 5mm rear for their springs. With new bump stops which are essential on a lowered GR due to the awful rear bump travel.

10mm and 5mm is correct, pretty much exactly the drop I got, only a small drop but looked so much better, ride was also much improved.

Yes it seems so, atleast in our size anyway which I'm told is not that common. Was told they are awaiting for the factory in Holland to do another production run in a few weeks, mind you I'm not surprised they are selling out at that price.

get some 19's fitted, you'll not want to go lower.. speed bumps and bad roads say it all.

19'' are one of the first mods, after the springs

I take it they are still performing well then? What rear top mount did you go for, I believe the standard set up for the hatch is now no rear pillow all top mount (oem style rubber instead) and 8/8 springs.

Oh yes absolutely awesome bit of kit, I'm on solid pillowball/Adjustable camber plate top mounts front and back

I looked at those BBS as loved the CH's on the S204, not sure they were available though in the UK in our fitment, not in 18's anyway.

BBS lovely rims - pity they don't fit over Alcons
Worth thinking about any future brake upgrades before shelling out on 18" rims.
19's should be OK tho.

I know, gorgeous wheels but having bigger brakes is very much an option. They cost a fortune too.

StrikE

iTrader: (3)

Oh ha ha yes i know there is little difference

Any one fancy one of the new STi TS or spec C from Japan,
Spec on the hatch forum looks sexy, carbon roof, ally bonnet,

As you know well i just missed it Phil will give you £20k for it lol
Only had mine a week so we shall see


On another note this car feels more responsive through the corners than my last hatch (59 plate), you sure the 330s doesn't come with some kind of suspension tweaks?

Abx

iTrader: (15)

Standard STI and 330s have exactly same setup, maybe yours has Prodrive springs fitted by previous owner, they are black as per oe ones so you would not know if you looked in the arch.

Also it only takes something like the geo to be out to make a huge difference to the handling.
