Apparently, Prodrives geometry settings benefit from an additional "fettle" for our Scottish roads....

They recommend -1.25° for front camber, but this can make the car pretty twitchy according to my local specialist. In light of this, mine was set to -1.00° IIRC on the front and it doesn't miss a beat.

Did they actually fit the Prodrive bumpstops? (shorter and stiffer)

are u hearing any knocking?

the springs may not have been fit correctly in the ridge

they did fit the prodrive bump stops
front feels fine the back just feels loose-it only knocks when going over holes etc
wife was in back of car and thinks the back does not feel stable!

I've had mine fitted for a month now and feels ok although I didn't change the geometry.

Have noticed a knocking from therear nearside though...might get the dealer to look at it.

had the springs fitted for a week to settle ? the suspension before using prodrive settings so i will probably change geometry back
thanks,martin

I thought X2WRX already had the kit fitted?

that will be the new x2 wrx-the plate must have been on at least 3-5 demonstrators and ian sells the car and keeps the plate
