Default suspension mods to MY05 STi

Hello all,

Is it worth uprating the springs on the 05 STi to prodrive or eibach components? I am thinking of getting the geometry done to a fast road spec at somewhere like TSL or Powerstation and would probably get springs fitted at the same time.

Has anybody changed the springs on the 05 STi and if so has it improved the handling/diminished ride quality?

Thanks for your help.

My 03sti is dam good. The 05 set-up must be better. Are you changing it for the sake of it?
If so leave it alone, by some accounts the 05 suspension set-up is very good as standard.

Go to Powerstation and have the ASTs fitted. There is such an improvement!
