Default Pic request Newage +18's + Prodrive springs

I'm having a set of 18's fitted to my new wagon next week so I'm trying to make my mind up wether or not it will need the springs to make it sit correctly

been quoted about £350 inc fitting
comments and pics pls

Craig.

Top car, top colour, top alloys and top picture but in response to your picture request whether on 17's or 18's wrx needs lowering. ...



A great car no wish to offend or compare with my own PWRC1 18's on PD springs.



Fills the arches far better, less stilt like.

Flat Eric has a great looking Wagon on 18 PFF7's I believe.

They all look too clean and shiny to me

Nathan

I've just clocked 26500... in 2 years! I was doing 250 miles a week for work for a year now I'm down to 50

My Wagon is a 'durty biatch' at the moment thanks to the hosepipe bans

If your car is 05 or newer and you're fitting the springs purely for aesthetics,then I'd save your money.

I reckon my 05 is about 0.5mm lower on the front and at least 2mm higher on the back with the prodrive springs....handles like a wet fish too

apparently the reason for that is because if you take them any lower then it will ride on the bumpstops
