Thumbs up Best Upgrade Yet!!

Alright, the only other one I have are the 18" PFF7's, but got the Prodrive spring kit fitted today and what a difference

Car feels more solid on the road, no more crashing and jolting on uneven surfaces, turn in is manic, excellent bite and the steering weight feels proper now. You can still provoke understeer, but at more levels of lunacy than before. It has given me the serious grin factor and turned the car into what it should have been from the start. Money well spent!!

Big thanks to Colin at Nobles who had the courtesy car ready for me this morning just after 7am, so i could get a quick turnaround to get home for some kip. Car was ready when I phoned and all cleaned for me to take away. Top Job with zero hassle.

Congrats John. I am seriously considering getting the spring kit on my WRX (if my car ever comes out of the body shop - having problems getting a rear bumper).

Most reports seem positive - someone is actually selling a new STI spring kit on eBay just now.

John, yup AMEC and WG/Mustang, AMEC keep walking out on industrial action and the Mustang stuff ain't to great
Sunley was speaking about you the other week there, don't worry nowt bad, I think he's scared of you for some reason don't see why something about you bending the weights bar in the gym, Kirsty saw the piccy of your lad in the Courier (about three weeks ago) the one your MIL put in.
Hopefully see you soon for a few beers

John.

John, thought as much. The WG tape measure always had the fisrst few inches cut off, so 5" was always 2", and they wondered why things never fitted

Yip the wee mans gonna be a star

I remember the night the bar got bent. Lifting some silly weights, yeah I believe he is a bit 'wary' of me. Funny how we have never met onshore' ,strange that

Gza, catch you later mate Deek has backed out of a spec-c, all over some woman I take it you heard about big Daves wedding ???
