New Coilovers Fitted This evening

 

 

How low can you go?

And I was worrying about the drop in ride height I will get from the Prodrive springs. I am obviously a softlad.

 

I like to see lowered cars, but is it just me or do your wheels now look smaller

Couple off NASIOC

 

Looking good there mate...

And another pic...think the people who hated the hatch are starting to come round to it...a bit like when the bugeye first came out after the classic

Surrey Scoobies

 

Nope sorry I'm a hater and still am.

 

not to worried about how low it goes, its how it handles now thats the best part like **** to a blanket the wheels do look smaller but i put that down to the crap phone picture tbh lol

 

what coilovers fitted??

 

Bc Racing Br Series 6/8 spring rate adjustable dampening, adjustable pillow ball top mounts

 

That's ok mate, I hate classics

 

Don't have a classic anymore

 

LOL

 

thx for the sympathy

 

MickP - Picked mine up from Prosport today after its 1000 mile oil change.

Saw yours I think? (black, euro spec?, silver BBS, tinted windows, red rear lenses, etc!)

Pete measured the ride height on mine (std) & yours - straight after install the prodrive springs lower the height by 20 mm.

Pls post your impression of the springs!

The other STI there was a white JDM twin scroll - I think they have plans for it

 

Yeh
I am looking forward to hearing what MickP thinks of his new springs. Mine is in for the PPP and prodrive springs next Thursday.

 

Thought you meant you had sold it and bought a bugeye/newage mate...only joking around with you

 

heh no probs, I have bought a blobeye but i didn't sell the classic Woman killed it on a crossroad

 

Is it just me or does that look like a 100% track car??

Just found out why my steering was so light and iffy. The fronts were pumped to 35 psi and the rears 32 psi!!!! Ok its a diesel but still, thats hard...

Still thinking about the Prodrive springs though......

 

Yep Prodrive springs on now guys and they make quite a difference. Did some twisty roads on the way back from Elvington yesterday and the body roll has gone. The ride is of course that bit firmer but i reckon Prodrive have got it bang on.

PPP & Springs have made a huge difference.

 

That looks great. My car is booked in for Wednesday to have the PPP and springs fitted. You have just made my night Mick. Reading your thoughts on them I am even more excited. It looks great too. I think I might get some 19" wheels for mine next, I am not a fan of the Prodrive GT2 though.

 

Chris

Your car will be transformed.....promise.

Let us all know what you think when the jobs done.

 

Stunning as allways mick

 

Thanks Pal

Getting there now Rob. When it is bang on i will probably sell it

 

very nice mickp. Is it much lower on the prodrive springs? and how did you do your rear lights?

 

What tyre pressures are you guys running??

Just converted the kgf /cm2 figures on the door plate and it comes in at 32 psi for mine.

 

Rob84 that looks awesome mate, love the stance!
MickP looks v nice! is the ride much stiffer? i've just ordered a set from Pete aswell.

Prodrive say the springs give a 15mm drop but in reality it's more like 20mm. Just about right IMHO.

The car is firmer but not over the top. Does make quite a difference on the twisty roads

 

nice one, sounds just what im after. Ive ordered a few whiteline bits also..

Lee
