I have a 2004 sti ppp which has a prodrive strut brace,FF7 alloys etc but i'm wondering if the springs are also prodrive...I've had the car a while and this may seem a bit of a stupid question to most on here but the car has red springs and i'm wondering if these are standard or also prodrive?

 

sounds like you have prodrive springs fitted mate

 

Take a wheel off and clean the springs and look for marks on the coils. IIRC mine had Prodrive and the part no SACCsomething printed on.

 

If they are Prodrive springs then they will be Red in colour

 

yeah but standard Subaru STi Suspension springs are also red aren't they???

 

My standard ones were black and the prodrive are red. That's a 2004 STi too.

 

As Gaz says Black as standard and Red if they are Prodrive

 

IIRC Standard springs on a STiUK are Black not 100% certain but are STiJDM/imports redish.

As said above Prodrive STi Red and Prodrive WRX springs are Blue.

Look in your drivers hand/service book, should is a Prodrive sticker informing that uprated front bump stops are fitted(inside strut) and should refitted when a new strut.

Curtiousy of Phil Stevens this is the sticker that should be in manual

 

i have a STI PPP and have red springs although just looked all through my paperwork and have no sticker so i dont beleive mine are prodrive springs

My ride height is also pretty normal and i thought prodrive springs dropped it abit?

 

only 20mm or so

 

apparently


A) When correctly fitted kits , Service and Warranty booklet wasn't there to stick it in
B) Lots of prodrive Kits were fitted by Independants, and not a Dealerships, some they "deemed" it an unnessary task

About 15-20 front and 20-25 rear IIRC

 

So prodrive will be stamped on the actual springs then?

 

I have a 03 STI Type UK PPP thingy. My springs are red, I am pretty sure they are standard. There is nothing in my paperwork to say I have different springs, also the rideheight seems pretty normal to me.

 

Actually....... I am wrong!!!!! The shocks are red, but the springs are black!!!

 

Prodrive springs come in blue also.

Only on the WRX not the STi
