I just fitted Prodrive Springs on my 02 STi and surprise, before measured 40.2mm and 39.5mm from centre of wheel to bottom edge of front guard and after measured 38mm and 37.5mm. Aprox 2cm lower. Rear before measured 37.6mm and 37.5mm and after measured 38mm and 38.5, for a increase of aprox 1cm and 1/2 cm. Anyone experience this?
Thanks in advance

Question

Ken
Whoops! - I think you meant to say CM for all measurements in your post?
Were the measurements taken straight after fitting or after a good run to settle the springs to their natural ride height?

Yeah...Thanks John..I meant Centimeters. The after measurments were taken after a drive of 40 minutes duration. Rears seem jacked up a little.
Thanks

Question

Ken
I've just finished fitting the Prodrive spring kit to my 03 STi but won't be able to drive it for a day or so. At the moment at least the front is lower but the rear seems no different to before, maybe even a tad higher! but this is just as it has come off the jack. I'll post my findings around mid-week after driving it.

Thanks for that information John. Mine was noticably lower after fitting the front Prodrives, but i'm still hoping the rears might settle a tad more. It will be interesting to know your fingings John.
Thanks
Ken
