Wanting to change the stock suspension (2003 Sti) for possibly pro drive springs or something else. Have had coil-overs on my previous cars (Tein Super Street & AST) and found the setup a little to hard on Yorkshire roads.

Would like something that improves handling put also retains some of the everyday driveability achieved by the stock springs.

Will be adding some white line stuff too improve the handling.

What do you guys recommend?

Go for BC coilover mate - not as hard as TEIN and fully adjustable. The softest setting is the about the same as stock. Also a good price aswell compared to others

Yeah I have heard a lot about these, do you know if any specialist on here sells them at a good price?

Or see John F's thread on 22B forum about KW coilovers.

P.S. I found std with Whiteline goodies to be almost ideal, till it was worn out !

Sweet not far from me. Will see him tomorrow.

Which White line goodies exactly?

ALK, adjustable rear ARB ( 22mm on mine ), and F&R drop-links.

Later added a front ARB as she did some track time. If lowered allow for a bump steer correction kit as well.

P.S. It's Bren @ Apex...

Won't be going on the track ever so i'm opting for this setup:

Pro Drive Springs
ALK
rear ARB 22mm

Budget doesn't stretch to drop links. What do you think of this as a fast road set-up?

You are quite likely to snap the OEM bolts, so get some rear drop-links, IMHO.

Really, why do you think that? Is there more force being applied to the OEM bolts once the arb goes on?

They are usually rusted to buggery...
