Does anyone have an acurate handle on the suspension differences between the following variants of MY03 STi?

1) typeUK STi vs JDM STi

2) JDM STi vs specC STi

Specifically trying to work out if the springs on my specC are a different rate to the standard JDM STi (want to know if using the Prodrive lowering springs will be OK, specC has a very hard ride as it is), but also curious to know if the UK STi is softer/harder than JDM STi?

bttt for a reply, i also have a jdm sti9, ride is very hard, and tramlines alot, wondering what i can do with it, i can feel every contour and bump in the road!!

 

Mine too (STi9 specC) - even white lines in road cause it to 'veer'

 

Mike,
Looking at Japanparts.com, The following springs are listed (from STI):

COIL SPRING (FRONT)
Spring Rate=45N/mm, Height about 20mm drops, *Price is per a piece [£42,80], For GDB (STi) except Spec C
COIL SPRING (REAR)
Spring Rate=38N/mm, Height about 20mm drops, *Price is per a piece [£42.80], For GDB (STi) except Spec C

Based on this, I would suspect that these are the springs used by the Spec C, or the equivalent...
