Just had the PHP fitted to my STI 7 and full geometry setup and all I say is WOW ! what a different car.

Turn in is much sharper and overall body roll has been reduced by masses, ride comfort has been slightly effected and seems to feel a few more bumps but overall it's well worth the long wait to get them.

It's how the car should have come out of the factory.

Arron.

Arron,

Sounds great, can't wait till I get time to fit mine.

Also looking at Whiteline rear ARB + links + mounts + strut brace from a friend at Demon Tweeks. Prices seem very reasonable.

Steve,

I've done everything as per matts post except the Anti Roll Bar ( Rear ), I was told it does not need to be done.

Prodrive Springs.
Wheel alignment to personal settings ( what suits my driving style )
Solid rear anti roll bar drop links.
Strut braces.

ETC.

Get the springs on ASAP, you will not be disappointed.

Arron.

Arron where did you get the geometry done? Powerstation?

Picked up my springs today and will get them fitted ASAP, can't wait.

Anyone know what's the general effect on tyre wear when you get geometry changed? presumably you have adjusted geometry to get rid of understeer and sharpen the turn-in just wondered if tyres wear more unevenly or more quickly.

Grobby,

Have you had them fitted yet, if no why not, they are superb and with the geometry set up correctly they make the whole car MEGA.

I had all the geometry set up done near where I live.

I have been trying to arrange the same mods as Matt also, but it is proving impossible to source the Whiteline ALK. Powerstation have been waiting for the STi7 ALKs for 2-3 months now!

Arron,

Whether it needs to be done or not is of course a matter of opinion. It doesn't "need" to be done but I prefer the feel of the rear end a lot more with the uprated bar.

Alan, have you also tried TSL, Scoobymania and Town End Garage? I think they all stock Whiteline products. What about Demon Tweaks? Failing that, you could mail Jim @ Whiteline (see this thread

Ta,

Matt

Which of these would bring the 7 closer to the MY98 ? I love the performance of the PPP but to me the feedback is not what the classic had.

I have Prodrive springs now and a few other Prodrive tweeks with a Whiteline anti-roll bar now on med setting and I am very happy with the handling.
Thanks Mike and the boys.

Cool

Lemmy, Powerstation now have anti-lift kits in stock for my01, I was also waiting for a while due to some aussie's having their holidays . All I can say is had mine fitted 2 weeks ago and it is worth the wait.

I've finally got around to fitting the Prodrive springs last night. I haven't really had time to assess them yet.

My STi7 is booked into PS for 1st August for the full works on the suspension. I can hardly wait especially as I had to cancel a booking from a few weeks ago.

I bought the handling pack for my MY00 and think its a fantastic improvement.Handles so much better at speed and excellent turn in.
Really confidence inspiring.
