Can anyone report back on ride heights for WR15 R/T on 17's and 18's, just to compare to my results from the test mule

 

So how many sets are left now.

 

P11L's - 5
WR15R/T's - 11

 

Just bought a used Prodrive suspension on eBay to fit to my RB5 and need
advice please on the right replacement P1 springs to fit.
Prodrive Bilstein Strut refs are:
Front LH 20310FA990 (814426 M100), RH 20310FA980 (1898VE2 4262M1)
Rears LH 20360FA990 (1998VE3 4263M3), RH 20360FA980 (1998VE3 4264M3)

Eibach Spring refs are
Fronts 19/98 20330 FA890, Rears 17/98 20380 FA890

Does that make this equivalent to the WR 97/98 Soft setup (replacement P11Ls)?
Also what do you advise re front/rear ARBs and bumpstops for fast road use.

Cheers

60ish sets out there now.
Anymore pics?
Just need damper type and fuel level.
Some more wagon pics would be nice.

I haven't installed my P11L yet, but with spring around the corner, and my 2 blown rear struts it's a must to install now.

Anyone have the P11L + kyb excel gs + wagon combo have butt sag?

 

Just had this from Canada (thank you, John)
P11L's + agx:

 

Thanks for the picture 2Pot. I remember reading that I should keep my factory ver4 STi wagon front/rear bars with this spring? Do you know the size off hand?

Also is it recommended to change the strut mounts as well?

I have noticed that this thread has been active for a while now, I was wondering if there are any WR15R/T springs still available to purchase.
If so what route should I take and who can I get in contact with to setup a transaction?

 

2pot is the man to talk to, this is his baby.

 

Thanks for the quick response! I PM'd 2pot for more information

I am very excited to have these springs, shipping was very quick from the UK to California. I am waiting for KYB AGX shocks to arrive so I can install them at the same time.

For the meantime here are some photos

 

Stock.




Front fender gap.




Rear fender gap.


Sorry. Holding tape measure and snapping pic was a bit awkward. But this is stock.

 

And with WR15 R/T.




And front fender gap, approx. from hub.


And after. The rear pic was to shaky to post. Will have to wait another day. Both sets were done with a bit more than 3/4ths full petrol. The lowering isn't dramatic, but noticeable. Very pleased with the handling. Thanks 2pot.

 

P11L's + Ohlins + 6speed

 

I want a set of WR15 R/T still have some left?

And where do you guys buy KYB AGX in US?

Can't you get agx in hk?

WR15R/T's:

 

P11Ls + Bilsteins on full fuel tank.

Ride height (wheel centre to arch) approx 341 front, 348 rear.
Ride quality firm but much better at dealing with back roads than the rock hard grey 890 springs I had on previously. Low speed ride still a bit jiggly around town but maybe getting the Bilsteins serviced and new bump stops installed might improve it further?
Well pleased with the result; thanks chaps!
Did you sell all the springs in the end?

 

There are 2 sets of P11L's left, from the original batch.
More due late November.

Your Bilstein struts are, slightly, over-damped, with the P11L's.
I don't think I'd go to the extra expense of changing the damping curve, until a strut fails. I might be more inclined, if the dampers have done more than 60k.

Many thanks for pic, measurements and fuel level - helps a lot to see how the differing static gas pressures, of the various dampers, effect ride heights.

 

Got my P11Ls arrived yesterday while i was away nice surprise when I got back, great service and prompt delivery, thanks 2pot!! woon't be on the car for a while until i can pay for the dampers as I've just bought 17" P1 wheels for her too. Anyone got these on a wagon yet? Would like to see how it sits

 

P11L's received great service thanks 2pot looking forward to seeing them on my car now!!

 

Latest batch of P11L now in stock.
£300 delivered inc matching bump stops/dust boots, for non-inverted struts.
£285 delivered inc matching bump stops, for inverted struts.

WR15R/T
£355 delivered inc matching bump stops/dust boots, for non-inverted struts.
£340 delivered inc matching bump stops, for inverted struts.

 

Any pics of the P11L on a classic with 18" wheels 2pot ??

 

WR15R/T's are lower and stiffer - similar rates to the v6sti, with more forward rake.

The car pictured below has wr15/kyb agx + 205/55 16 (same od as 215/40 18)


The wr15's will need agx, koni inserts or subaru inverted.
Subaru inverted have a higher static gas pressure, so sit 5mmish higher.

The P11L's have more height variation on the rear (softer spring rate) - a full to empty tank, on P11L, is a 10mm rear ride-height difference.

Below: P11L/excel-g + 215/45 17 (same od as 215/40 18) full tank




Below: P11L/Subaru inverted struts + 225/35 18
The lens used is wide angle, so it distorts the arch gaps - giving an exaggerated idea of increased ride-height (5mmish) due to higher static gas pressure from new inverted struts and 10mm smaller tyre od, than those above.
