Finally going to order it. Went into Marlborough in Isleworth and they have quoted 6 weeks for delivery.

Now I know that you guys have had them delivered quicker than that!

Have also seen/heard a couple of bad comments about them.Can anyone recommend Cheam,Spring park or Gatwick motors for this work?

Also considering the spring kit, has anyone got this?

How much is the spring kit - just out of curiosity?

I was told around £300 quid which sounded cheap. Not sure if that included labour though. I'll let you know when I decide where to order it from.

What car have you got as the spring kit for the MY03 is not out yet. I recommend you go to Cheam. I live in the same area as you and it is well worth the extra few miles. As for Marlborough and the others I have had some experience but always found them more expensive than Cheam (although this isn't relevant for the PPP) and Cheam's service is excellent.

I have a MY02 STi which according to the Prodrive site has a spring kit available. Just feel like my car rides a bit too high and the 25mm drop should sort it.

Thanks for the recomendation. Do you have PPP on your STi8? Have you experienced with and without PPP?

I had an STi 7 without PPP and recently test drove an STI 8 with PPP.
Was suitably impressed to order an STi 8 with PPP, its a lot more of an aggresive car and more responsive in the handling department.

No PPP yet, although seriously considering it - if only to improve pick up at low revs. Have driven the PPP one and it is more responsive, but wanted to drive it as standard for 6 months beofer upgrading.

I had my 03 STi for 4000 miles before I put the PPP on just a week ago. The difference is stunning. Apart from the fact that it really charges now at maximum attack, it's so much more driveable every day bellow 3000 revs. For me it was a complete revelation, and has restored my full enjoyment of the car, which had deteriorated somewhat after a few thousand miles on the stock STi.

Mine was fitted at A&J White in Blackburn, and everything seems to be fine.

How long did you have to wait for it to be fitted?

Just spoke to cheam to place my order!!

Nick's STi7:
The spring kit is £165.96 +Vat and addition 5 hours of Labour to fit. So your talking over £500.
