.... was looking forward to seeing the car with one spring fitted (look at the title)

 

Looks good The back end seems to sit much 'flatter'. How do does it feel now with these?

Richie (waiting for the MY03 sti springs).

 

Mcscooby LOL

Ramdor,
My dealer from brand new fitted Eibach's but found them a bit hard I only found out recently that they'd fitted classic springs and not Bugeyed So hard to compare with originals
However these springs really suit the rubbish roads out our way low enough to look good and no need to wear a gum sheild whilst driving. My wife has commented that it is more comfortable in the back now but still requires a 5 piont harness to hold her down LOL
The back could still do with firming up a bit will fit a new Anti rollbar and solid drop links

 

Are the Prodrive spring kits Blue, Pink or Red

 

Nice car Tony, remember me from 5th Gear forum.
Thought you'd be on the Ring by now, or stateside or wherever.
You lot make me jealous as hell, but the moneys looking good so I'll be joining the party very soon.
Hope to cross paths in the future.

 

Yep I remember 5th gear but we didn't win it though

Off to Castle Coombe this Saturday 17th 23rd off to Nurburg Ring and New York/Vegas 16th June [brag mode off]

Did you contact Trouser(Paul) from TSL he will help on Scooby Imports Email him on

TSLMSPORT@AOL.COM or WEB site HERE

Nice Tony, cheers for the feedback I am trying to decide what to go for, the Prodrive springs (when they eventually come out for the MY03 STi) or Leda suspension. Decisions, decisions

Richie.

 

Looking good . Where do you get these kits from and how much are they (there's no info on the subaru website and I'd like to get some for my sti7)

Cheers,
Iain

 

Ramdor,
No problem glad I could help

Ian,
I believe the Spring kits are about £180, I would suggest you buy them from a Dealer and get TSL or Powerstation etc. to fit them and do a proper 4 wheel geometry set up done IMHO

Tony

 

Now, am I the only one that thinks the Bug-Eye with Sti lights actually looks better than MY03? The new one looks a little too bulky at the front to me. However, the MY03 looks way better than the bug-eye with the WRX lights.... weird that.

 

Do the springs include the stickers

 

Dealer tells me the springs are out of stock at IM until end of month at least.
IM told him that they only ordered 12 sets to see how they went.
Are there only 12 people with the springs fitted? Seem to be more than that.

 

Tractor,
Tend to agree with you if they had fitted STi lights to all Bugeyes may have not needed to do a revamp

Fizz,
Sticker were an optional extra

I reckon the car doesn't sit so nose down now so reckon they have lowered the rear more than front

Tony

 

Thanks Tony. Is that £180 per corner or for the set? Seems pretty cheap if it's for the set (considering my sti mudflaps cost twice as much as that!!)

Thanks,
Iain

 

My dealer quoted me £165.96 + VAT less SIDC discount for the full set.
Excellent deal, if only they had stock at IM!

Steve Wardle

 

Ian,
As Steve said get SIDC discount and Spring Kit will be under £170 for a whole set wasn't sure of price as my dealer had to buy them

Tony

 

Excellent. A trip to my local dealer on payday then I think

Cheers,
Iain

 

Ian,
3 of us in Worcs have them fitted and reckon they are the dogs

Tony

 

Tony,
Dealer says May 24th for springs - Hooray!

May fit them myself as he wants approx. £200!!! Any advise/tips from anyone who's fitted them?
p.s. I've got my own spring compressors and have done full suspension rebuilds on previous cars, so any tips for the scooby gratefully received.

Thanks

It didn't look too difficult to me when i watched mine being done.

BUT, ensure you get the geometry done properly afterwards.

 

I agree with Russ get someone Like TSL or Powerstation to do a Laser Full geometry set up for you once youve done all the Hard work

Tony

 

Does any one know the Subaru SACC part number for the STi7 springs.

Cant find it on the webiste anywhere.

Cheers
Mark

 

mark,
I think the part No. is SACC 2554 (but get dealer to check) and the Springs are a Reddish colour

Tony

 

Thanks Tony.

 

Mark,
These were taken at Castle Coombe on Saturday and seemed quite comfortable

Nice pics Tony.

You seem to be happy with them from your posts, is this still the case?

Im looking to get some 18" OZs in the next month or two, so it would make sense to do the springs at the same time.

I had the Prodrive springs on my previous WRX and they did make a big difference.

Mark

 

StevePPP,

200 quid seems a good price from your dealer - I just got quoted 400+vat for fitting the prodrive springs to my MY02!

Spoke to TSL and I'm probably go there.

T.

 

Mark,
still the case but the car needs really (IMHO) the rear Anti-Rollbar and drop links replacing.

Tony

 

Hi Tony,

I just put my Sti springs back on my car before my first service next week. I now know why I fitted WRX springs and dampers 8 months ago . Do you feel that the ride is less bumpy with the Prodrive springs?

Cheers
Gareth

 

Gareth,
Yes far less bumpy(no need for gum sheilds) but does need a better ARB and droplinks to finish of the back end

Tony
