Question

NickAdams, I have loads of picks of your car and am thinking of doing similar to mine,
how much do the Pro-Drive springs lower the car?? and what is the ride lick, hard, better than standar??

Thanks

Ross

PS sorry about jumping in on the thread the thread, would also like to see 18's on MY02/01!

I think the Prodrive springs lower it around 25mm or so and the ride doesn't really feel that much harder to be honest.It feels sooo much more taut though now.Chuck it into a bend and there's very little body role now.I'm really impressed with the springs (I remember old cars of mine where I'd fitted lowering springs and the ride was completely destroyed, not the case with these springs!!)

Go for it,you know it makes sense!! (Remember to get the Prodrive geometry done too though!)

Good luck

Nick
