I'm a little torn between replacing all my shocks with new KYB's and fitting Prodrive springs or go down the coilover route. It's likely I'd fit BC's or HSD's as it's not far off the cost of an OEM shock refresh.

If I fit coilovers they won't be on the lowest setting but I'm concerned they'll be crashy for an everyday car? Has anyone got any experience of both setups?

 

And the car is a .........

 

Sorry, it's a blob wagon.

 

If you want to drop it for looks - cheap coilvers. But, unless the coilvers are wagon specific, you'll have problems with reduced negative camber and binding. As well as the usual, uncompliant, ride.

Handling-wise, better to get PCA dynamics wrx springs.
Pair with either the wagon-specific kyb excel-g's for a compliant ride, and therefore better handling on undulating, uneven roads.
Or,
Pair with wagon-specific kyb Ultra SR's for smooth, flat roads.

Front bump stops - febi 27848 - dome side up
Kyb 910046 rear stops/dust boots

Top off with Whiteline kca335 front top mounts for extra caster.

 

I have the PCA Dynamics springs on my blob wagon and I can't praise them enough, best £200 I have ever spent on a car. Fitted mine with the standard shocks that were on the car, works a treat.

 

Ok, for what I'm after the shocks and springs is definitely the best option. Where can I buy the PCA dynamics springs? And what's the difference v's the Prodrives?
