Looks alot better!! But did you get the alignment done at the same time, those tyres are looking a bit worn on the edges!

Phil - I can vouch for it looking very cool now, having seen it Sunday. I had the suspension done on my RB5 a month or so ago at TSL - standard shocks and Eibach springs. It handles really well now but doesn't seem to actually be any lower?

Looks like it's seen a few track days, not just allignment issue there ?

mutant_matt

No, I think it's just alignment and enthusiastic road driving......

Philip Attaway

No track days. Matt knows the score

Has new shoes now

Do the prodrive springs make the car much stiffer and compromise the ride quality? I have an 03 WRX Prodrive that feels a little unpredictable when cornering hard and I am thinking of fitting these to stop some of the body roll.

fuji i had Eibachs fitted to my MY03 WRX amongst other things, and that is one of the best mods i have had done. Ride quality is fine, and i am a fussy bloke on that score.
Car handles superbly now, no sway, no overtaking sway, braking dips are gone, unless i stamp on me StopTechs that is, LOL.
Well worth it imho.

BAH

Just had mine done, doesnt seem to have removed the rear bounce, but the car does feel more planted on the road......other downside is i keep catching the front splitter on things

Had my Prodrive springs fitted last Wednesday. Best upgrade for the money IMHO. Car goes round bends without all the roll and doesn't pitch and dive on acceleration and braking like it did before.

Ride comfort really isn't compromised at all either and steering feels good as well.

As a matter of interest I'm running 35psi at front 33psi at back and it all seems a pretty good combination.
What pressures do you guys run with new springs?

BAH

the paperwork that comes with the springs says 33 front and 31 back

34.5/32.5 '03 WRX wagon with Prodrive springs. These pressures work well with F1 GSD3s which I feel need a bit more air to compensate the softer sidewalls - IMHO.
