Hi guys
The hatch is going so I have a set of White line springs for it that I don't need any more. They have not covered many miles at all I only took them off because I got a crazy deal on a kw variant 3 set up.
I am open to sensible offers for them as I would prefer them to go to good use instead of sitting in my garage doing nothing.
Thanks Kev.

Current championship leading Time Attack Team, Cross Roads, has released a stunning, strictly limited edition version of the latest Subaru STi saloon; the TA340C.
This stunning 4 door is hand-finished by the same technicians that created the Pro-R Racing Time Attack Subaru – a car that has dominated the Club Class of Time Attack this season. The TA340C uses many components and set-up techniques derived from the racecar, and with driver Jon Mathers being an integral part of the development process, balances exceptional performance with ‘real-world’ usability. The build spec and branding of the car has been endorsed by the UK Time Attack championship; the first car ever to receive this accolade.
Based on the 2011 MY 2.5 WRS Sti Saloon, the Pro-R Racing technicians have replaced many of the standard parts with motorsport quality alternatives from the Pro-R range, to enhance the entire driving experience. Despite the added edge of performance offered by this rather special Impreza, the TA340C still enjoys full manufacturer’s warranty, thanks to every part fitted being a Subaru-approved accessory. As the nomenclature suggests, the engine itself has been remapped to produce a prodigious 340 BHP, with improved torque characteristics and a subtly increased exhaust note, thanks to a bespoke Scorpion rear box, which is hand-crafted from aerospace grade T304 stainless steel.
As you might expect from a race outfit, handling is sublime, building on the already benign chassis of the STi and improving further still with the addition of stiffer, hollow Eibach anti-roll bars and subtly lower Eibach springs to create a chassis that still cossets during normal road driving, but rewards during hard cornering. This capable package is augmented by a full complement of SuperPro bushes which remove some of the compromise from the factory rubber bushes, without adversely affecting ride quality.
Braking comes from the race-proven Pro-R brake set-up by Alcon. Boasting 365mm semi-floating front discs and lightweight monobloc alloy calipers, these brakes inspire huge confidence when stopping from any speed.
Despite the ‘wish-list’ of additional componentry to please the most dynamically demanding driver, it’s the aesthetics that really set the TA340C apart from the standard STi. A flawlessly applied ‘Moondust’ body wrap tips its hat to the current supercar trend of satin finishes, yet needs none of the special attention associated with those high-maintenance hues. Indistinguishable from paint, it is augmented by the 19” Prodrive GT1 wheels, wrapped in the new Pirelli Trofeo tyres that have been developed for the 2012 Time Attack series. The final finishing touch is that most iconic of Impreza accessories, the high level OEM rear spoiler, complete with an especially strengthened boot lid. As well as looking the part, it also adds genuine downforce to aid stability once the car reaches high speed.
The TA340C is priced at £39,995 on the road only 15 will ever be produced and all come with individual numbered carbon plaque , bespoke carpet mats , de badged and discreet TA340C badging.

Looks good, let down only by those horrible alloys. I presume this has the new ProR developed Eibach springs. These sound really interesting... 15mm drop, rear biased spring rate, replacement bumpstop etc. Just need them to get some in stock and get some feedback before I go for them.

Was also surprised that they put Prodrive wheels on the car when Prodrive now no longer have any association with Subaru, would have expected Pro-r just to have gone aftremarket like they have done with pretty much the rest of their line up.

So £7k extra for a spoiler, 20 more hp than a 320r, a wrap, a spoiler and some naff looking wheels? The old sti was a bargain at £27k (or thereabouts).
I really fance an '11 hatch next year and Im always on Autotrader but lucky if there is ever more than 1-2 hatches for sale. Plenty of saloons.

P1 fanatic: you missing the suspension tweaks, brakes and build number of 15 units? its quite a limited car!!!!
TBH I think the 2010 hatch/saloon STI is way over priced, I will not be buying a new one , cant pay over £30 for a scooby unless its a R205 or spec C
I love my hatch and really I think buying a low mileage 2nd hand one will be better. I've seen some 1 year old now for £23/24k that's a £10k depreciation!!!

LOL. Subaru probably have a load of stock of them left over so put them on this car as a way to get rid. Here they are in their more natural environment...

the std 17"s look too small and Orrible (IMO)... the 18" on the 330s look like they're off a mazda Rx7.. and the prodrive 19" GT2 are a TSW Venom copy.
so not looking good for wheels on the new hatch/saloons.
If mine didn't come with the £2k+ Prodrives... I'd have looked at a set of Rota's.... there's some nice styles on offer

I'd say more hawkeye, than blobeye maybe
Sorry, GT2s definately aren't my cup of tea at all. I prefer plainer more motorsport influenced designs such as the Turinis, the GT2s look more like a style over function design to me (particularly being 19"). But that's just my opinion, your hatch still looks very nice tho

I personally hate the gt2's, they scream out ford focus st regardless they are utter tripe. wheels to big and the tyre choice is too small on the side wall which compromises the handling.
wouldn't pay £2000 for them as they don't cost that in the first place £1180 for the full set
be better seeing some nice GC010's on there
