I had STI mudflaps and prodrive springs fitted to my STI yesterday and now something is catching/scraping on bumpy roads and going round roundabouts. I've checked the 'flaps and there doesn't seem to be any scuffing to indicate they'd caught on anything.

Any ideas?

As an aside, I'm not that impressed with the springs, I preferred the original set up.

i have the same setup and my flaps catch the road too, even more since I`ve had the Prodrive springs put on. It`s expected when you see how far you front flaps are from the ground when stationary.

 

Dont have springs fitted mate, nightmare with flaps.

Mine is STI8 with STI Flaps, Droplinks and uprated anti roll and an anti lift kit installed.

 

Cheers guys, I'll put up with it until they wear down a bit then!

Forest172- Are you happy with the springs? I've seen loads of posts with people claiming they're the best thing since sliced bread but I can't see it myself. Most unimpressed.

I think you must be the only one who says dont have the springs fitted, i'd have said its a must... my STi rolls into bends like a P&O ferry!

Can't wait to get the springs fitted and anti roll bar done.

 

Are all these issues with the genuine STI flaps?

My new STI is having the Scott Lowe Automotive flaps instead (much cheaper!) - but are they any more or less prone to dragging on the ground?

 

Andy, mine are the STI ones from the dealer.

STI mudflaps. To much money mate.
Loose weight that might help.
Love to get some up over £400 that to rich for me.
Where are the photos?

 

If I remember correct when I fitted my STi mud flaps, there are two height settings.
I put mine as low as possible to protect the sills and they catch. Have thought about lifting them up but never got round to it

 

Cheers j-b, i'll have a look in the morning.
Ray, **** off you cheeky ****, I can't afford to lose weight, I'd waste away to nothing!!
I can't afford a camera now after all my recent expense.

PSML Not been called that for a long time. try cashing the cheque i gave you. bet you spent that.

 

Had the prodrive spring fitted to my STi7 a while ago and they transformed the handling. Far less body roll around the twisties, and much more predictable / stable round fast corners (around Castle Combe for example). Definitely recommended...

Got the prodrive flaps as well, and I'm regularly grounding them (and yes they are on the high setting). Mind you, I got them to ground before I had the springs done as well

Doesn't seem to damage them though

 

I've been and looked but can only seem to see one setting, the one it's on. Anyone got pictures to show an idiot?!

Ray, it was spent the moment you handed it to me!!

If I remember correctly, there were two sets of holes in the flap itself . You just need to unscrew the flap, and make sure the screws go through the bottom set of holes (so the flap is higher on the car).

 

Ive got Leda B on my sti8 ive cut the flaps down to the bottom of the sti logo and they still catch

You need to take them off and move the holes on the flaps
