Price for Prodrive springs inc fitting?
I've had a quote for supplying and fitting the above for about 440 pounds. Is this about right for a Subaru dealer?

Well Subaru's website quote 225 but that does not include fitting. If Monty's are doing them for 275, that's only 50 pounds labour. In this day and age, that's very very cheap.

compshack - do you reckon Wildings gave you a good price because you got the car from them? What did you do about the geometry?

The Dealer says (and i struggle to disagree) that Prodrive branded stuff will prop up residual values.

as if the dealer would give you more money for modded springs and a air filter he would reduce the the price if anything ppp is the only mod you get a few bucks back for and then its only a few

There should be on < MY04 a set for WRX and set for the STi. There are differences in Front end weights. not certain of the difference on MY05 models.
On my STi02 Prodrive springs lowered mine by about 22mm front and 26mm rear IIRC
Here are some pics to compare but may differ to newer models

Gatwick Subaru have quoted me just under £400 for springs, labour and geo set-up. (this included 10% SIDC discount)
£250 from Montys....... all in !!! I thought £250 was the cost of the springs anyway.
Merlin71.... where did you get it done for £300?

I've been thinking about getting the Prodrive springs, but I'm worried about ride quality. The roads where I live (S.London) are pretty bad, and I must be getting old 'cause sometimes it's just too painful to go fast! On the other hand I've heard these springs actually improve the ride - make it a bit less "knobbly". Any views?

Although looks weren't the main consideration they do also make the car look alot better as well with about 1 inch drop. Am well pleased and wouldn't want to go back to standard.
