I have a MY96 UK Turbo, which (according to paper work) has Prodrive suspension.
I've been getting a rubbing/scrapping noise whilst driving from the rear drivers side wheel, which goes under braking, so I took the wheel off to investigate. The sticker on the suspension leg say’s STI, is this the same thing as Prodrive?.
Not a clue to what the noise is, pads/calliper/disc/bearing all look good?.
Cheers.
Ian.

The Prodrive-supplied kit uses Bilstein dampers and Eibach springs and not STI parts AFAIK.
What paperwork? Invoice? If so, then maybe dealer fitted some STI suspension parts as found on the jap cars.

Thanx for the reply,
Theirs an Invoice in with the service papers, its says Prodrive suspension kit @ £1300 ish plus £300 ish fitting. The springs are Eibach though.
Cheers.

Hi Ian
Yesterday I bought the Prodrive prof suspension kit with silver shocks/springs. There are two kits, mine is the stiffer, while the other which is softer (WR) has blue springs. I can't confirm from the part number if it is the wright stuff cause I have lost the file with the original part numbers. Which is yours?
My shocks have as yours a sticker with both STI-Prodrive logos so I am curius if the kit is Prodrive or STI made!

AFAIK Prodrive has some wrights about producing the specific Bilstein shocks in their service, using original Bilstein parts (valves, tubes etc). From what I have seen the shocks have the Bilstein logo printed in three points, but have also Japanese characters!
The springs are wider than the STI's and P1's usually, so I am sure they are the original stuff (from what I can compare to some internet photos). In my opinion they sell the same product in Japan...
