I have a MY03 STi8 with Prodrive springs running 18" alloys. I am looking to make the ride a bit better and smoother. Does anyone have any idea's? I've heard things about ARB's and ALK's. Do these's make any difference?

Cheers

They won't improve the comfort m8.

Go for a run in an Evo- your STi will feel a lot more comfortable when you get back in it!

 

Revert to 17' wheels with 225/45 (higher sidewall) tyres...should help :-)

What tyres are ytou using?

Reverting to the std 17" wheels and tyres will actually make the ride worse rather than better.

I'm running Pirelli P-Zero Nero at the moment. I have heard that they can make the ride harder. I would have liked to have Toyo's but new tyres where put on the car at the time of buying it. I didn't think it would cause a problem later on!!

The only reason that I jokingly said that, was that a number of people seemed to have suggested that the ride is a lot firmer when they switched to 18' with 225/40 pzero's
