Hope you can make it Gary. As said, we will have a 2 post lift on the day if you need to fit anything else.

If I was to get hold of the springs that are to be fitted would they or someone there be able to do this then I can have 2 new tyres fitted and get the prodrive setup all in one day!

Would this be possible?

Scoobysmeet - fancy meeting up for the drive down there?

No worries, need to measure the depth of my splitter to see if it'll work. Don't wanna lift the front up and fit it then find out I still can't get up the drive.

Irc the front has been lowered about 24mm and just catches the kerb at the moment.

Feel free to contact them and ask. But doing a spring change is a big ask in one day considering everyone's cars will also need to be done and I'm unsure of how many staff they will have on on the day.

Please call them and discuss.

May only be a spectator as time is limited for me this Sunday, would like to have the Prodrive setup done if possible and would i need any other items to allow this to be completed.
Is there a meet place? or direct to the venue?

Cheers,

Ed.

Steve, yes should get the ARB on.
Ed, prodrive settings again shouldn't be an issue.

Cheers,
May sound stupid, but is there a data/spec sheet to show the differences between standard STi and the prodrive set up in regards to Toe/Camber/Caster etc.
Thanks,
Ed.

They have the specs on computer. You will get an alignment sheet from before and after the alterations.

Thanks but was looking to understand the changes in the toe/camber/caster from standard to PD and what the implications of runing the PD set up, waying up the pros and cons, if there is any.

I'll give you hand mate. Arbs and drop links are no sweat mate.

One day all the little bits will come together as one!

All cars are different, as are how you want them to drive. Chat with Damien on Sunday.

From memory the PD settings are 1.2 deg neg camber up front, 0.8 deg zero toe up front, 1mm toe in on the rear.

There are no cons with those setting Ed as they're not aggressive at all.

Great guys, I wanna get as many people to this as possible.
Good geometry affects the way your car drives and handles at ALL speeds. Possibly one of the single most value for money mods you can do next to good tyres.
