Has anybody got any pics of their cars with Prodrive suspension fitted? For god knows how long i've been looking at suspension options but can't decide on which to go for. The Prodrive option is expension but i don't really mind that, the thing that concerns me is that i do want to lower it a bit 25-35mm would be nice. So pics of Prodrive equiped cars would be very helpful .

Here's a pic of how my car sits now for comparison:



Cheers,

Tony.

Cheers Ian,

From the pictures i wouldn't say there was much difference. My car being a WRX (don't ask how i got the Prodrive stuff ) is about 5mm lower than UK cars any way. I've heard that the Eibach springs don't really lower it that much, if at all, but i thought the actual Prodrive suspension did????

Cheers Ken,

Doesn't seem to lower that much. Maybe Prodrive isn't for me .

You might be better off looking at H+R Springs if you want it lower than the Eibachs, Not tried them myself but theres a few people on here that run them on stock shockers and they reckon the handling is improved.

I have an MY94 Prodrive Edition which has the Prodrive Lowered Coil Springs, it's certainly lower than a collegue's standard RB5.

Another mate had an MY98 with the full Prodrive Bilstein and Spring set-up, and that's even lower.

For Example, I can get a trolley jack under my rear diff, but can't on his.

I would say that the springs bring it down about an inch and the full prodrive bilstein set-up brings it down another 15-20mm or so.

I've got the option at the mo' to get some Whiteline springs at very good good money, think i'm gonna go that way and get some dampers at a later date. Maybe Koni? Probably change my mind in a few hours tho .
