Hey all,

Im going to lower my 02 STI prodrive with springs and retain the standard shocks,

Question is which springs do people recomend and if possible can you post pictures of your car with them fitted.

Choices are,
Tein S-Tech's,
Eibach pro,
Prodrive (dunno where to get these or how much they are)
etc,

Please tell me others if theyre better.

Cheers Frayz

 

Ive Eibach and find them great.

Eibach for me to please....lol....

 

I've got prodrive one's on mine. Very happy with them. Cost £460 fitted with geometry setup. Bought & fitted by Dealer.

 

Can you guys possibly post a pic of the cars with the relevant springs fitted, how much do the prodives drop the car by?

Cheers

 

Eibach droped 30 or 35 mm which was perfect not to much just right.

 

Eibachs for me.

I believe that the prodrive kit are also eibachs. I could be wrong tho'

Our springs are indeed manufactured for us by Eibach, they are not however what you would buy as an Eibach spring kit. We spend a lot of time getting the rates and heights right for the specific application and don't take the 'We'll lower it by 30mm and increase the std rate by 25% to stop it bottoming out' approach.

Where can i get the prodrives for the best price Mike?

Approx how much are they?

Will i be okay with 18s once theyre fitted?

Cheers

The springs are available from any Subaru dealer. Retail is £195 and the set-up can be further improved by fitting the later bumpstops as well (SACC2555A x 2) which as £30

If you are using our 18" wheels (or any others with the same spec) you'll have no clearance issues.

Mike I had Prodrive springs fitted last year (53wrx) didn't know about the bump stops, what do they do, please ?

 

"didn't know about the bump stops, what do they do, please "

yep me too any info just about to buy a wrx and i will prob add them to it

 

Prodrive springs retain almost all the factory suspension travel instead of Eibachs while lower your car less than Eibachs which is important for bumpy/uneven roads!
You take what you pay for...
