Default MY05 Prodrive springs fitted

They've certainly stiffened up the ride somewhat

but I actually think the car is now sitting higher than it was with the std springs.....I hope they'll settle down a bit soon

Turini's are a magnificent wheel IMHO, they were my second set on my 03.

Set number four expected shortly

Looks really good Jon.

Nice mods !

I am sure the springs will settle down after time.

Particularly like the go faster badge. Was it DIY or did you buy ??

If DIY how did you do it ??
