Question STi 8 ride improvements?

I have a MY03 STi8 with Prodrive springs running 18" alloys. I am looking to make the ride a bit better and smoother. Does anyone have any idea's? I've heard things about ARB's and ALK's. Do these's make any difference?

Cheers

They won't improve the comfort m8.

Go for a run in an Evo- your STi will feel a lot more comfortable when you get back in it!

What tyres are ytou using?

Reverting to the std 17" wheels and tyres will actually make the ride worse rather than better.

I'm running Pirelli P-Zero Nero at the moment. I have heard that they can make the ride harder. I would have liked to have Toyo's but new tyres where put on the car at the time of buying it. I didn't think it would cause a problem later on!!

The only reason that I jokingly said that, was that a number of people seemed to have suggested that the ride is a lot firmer when they switched to 18' with 225/40 pzero's
