Hey folks,

Can anyone tell me what your Subaru dealer charged to get a set of Prodrive springs fitted to your car, plz?

I see the kit is £225 exc fitting.

PS this is for a MY04 STI

I paid about £400 all in. Sadly dealer made such a mess of the alignment I had to go to TSL to get it done properly (another £127, at least well spent). Dealer has since lost the franchise.

Ahhh cheers m8, didnt spot that! Did you get yours done in the end?

In-laws live in Sheffield (Chesterfield) so I may well contact Montys, as i'm up there for Xmas. Do you know if their prices includes a full 4 wheel alignment ?

I believe it comes as standard after new springs,struts etc
If you ask to speak to ian in parts and tell him mark got a quote of £275 from you for prodrive sti springs fitted , just to refresh his "very small memory",he aint the brightest bulb on the tree, but he means well, bless

Just going to give them a ring now! I bought my STI from Monty's so hopefully they will at least match that quote I'm looking for PPP to be fitted at the same time.

Let us know how you get on please.

Is there any difference between these and eibachs? Just orderd a set for mine 152quid but then fitting price on top of that so 275 all in seems a good deal.

Aroe

Hmmm they just rang me back and said no discount on the ppp pack and the springs would be £500 fitted but there would be a substantial discount if i got them fitted at the same time as the ppp, he wouldn't say exactly but did say it would be in the hundreds. This was speaking to Ian (does sound a tad dopey lol) I forgot to mention your name Mark so maybe some room for movement.
Quoted 2hrs labor for the ppp with an extra 30mins for the springs ...so how they get the £225 labor on the springs i dont know.

Going to try KT Green tomorrow (they are my local dealer)

Ian quoted me £275 fitted and supplied,But i did buy my sti03 ppp from them so maybe they are doing me a good deal as i am a regular customer(always use for services,parts etc),they supplied and fitted my sti mudflaps(wr blue)for £178,Did you tell him that hes quoted me £275 as you said you forgot to mention?

yep!
Thats the price im paying when the sti goes in on the 16 of january,inc geom set-up,I have been told by the service manager at montys subaru that the reason i gets this so cheap is that i bought two cars from them,always use them for servicing/parts etc!

Look after your customers and they'll keep coming back

Mine were £400 fitted at Pulleyns in York

Robocop

Were they (Pulleyns) the dealer that sold you the car?

Rusty in France

Don't look after your new customers and they will go somewhere else next time also rings true

I got my Prodrive spring kit fitted today by Powerstation.
It cost me £165 for them to be fitted and the alignment done.
The springs I managed to get for £198 from a main dealer using my SIDC discount as I also bought a set of PFF7s.
All in all then £363.

I got mine £350 all in from K T Green's.
