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.

 

get some bc coilovers put on , they r spot on

 

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

 

+1

 

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

8/6KG spring rates on mine

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.

 

give glen a ring at revolution they have copy of bss wheels in good the price & look just like real thing

 

spot the difference.. lol

 

lol they aint far off are the salsa lol

btw, are you aware of the hatch forums??

 

Oh ha ha yes i know there is little difference
I had BBS rims on my golf years ago & loved them, still have them!

 

i think you really wanted to buy my car withthe BBS 'luk-a-likie' wheels... it's yours for £27k

 

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?

 

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.

I think the same, there's very little body roll/movement, had a drive to Loughborough this afternoon, bit twisty, car ran lovely. Next, is the Midlands Scooby Meet tomorrow

 

Thanks Mark, i will go try clean the dirt off them to spot any writing

Thanks again
