right, just got my Sti8 ppp'd yesterday, got the prodrive springs done to,
so......the car looks great, sits lower and is less bouncy than before...
it sounds lovely, although not as nice as my 99 classic after that was prodrived !!! [wonder if they have altered the zorst now]...not as raspy at high revs as the 99 ppp, but still far nicer than before
..now...the performance, well it seems to climb the revs far far quicker....[is this normal] and its less jerky on the power delivery, more smooth, but it doesnt really 'feel' quicker, although i know from speeds im hitting ant certain landmarks where i live that it is quicker..
any one any similar comments to share ???

looks just over an inch, but it looks noticably lower, looks great, and maybe in a month or two it will drop a bit more !!

Just had mine done yesterday alot smoother drive, changing gears sooner and a lot faster, i used to come on to a certain road give it some and i think i was doin 120 instead of about 100, i have had 18" put on with yokohama tyres not saying they are a bad tyre but they struggling. The sound is awsome, let my mate take it up the road and it is loud.

have to agree with the changing gears soone, seems to reach 3000 revs very quickly!! sound is good , but the 99 prodrive zorst had that crisp rasp
performance...... im still unsure
