Have some Prodrive red springs ready to go on my Sti blob this friday, just wanted to know how much of a drop will I get and will this cause problems with the splitter and speed bumps etc?

Also with the lower stiffer springs should i expect to get more knocking as I have a very small amount currently (nothing major).

If I remember correctly its about 25-30mm drop, and I suppose depends on what it is that's knocking. I went from Prodrives to BCs and my settings are stiffer than the Prodrives, I had a slight knocking on my NSF drop link which appeared to be amplified by the stiffer ride of the BCs.

The lip spoiler was ok with everything except kerbs when driving on a parallel park, cured that by revesing in instead.

i have the ppp on my 03 sti and it has the red shocks at the front but the rear shocks are like a dark gold colour? also the 4 springs are black, are prodrive springs only made in red?

Mine are black and the shocks are red. Red shocks = standard sti struts and the black springs = standard sti springs.

The pro drive springs are red if I'm correct and mine have the prodrive name printed on the spring itself. Made by eibach, mine came in an eibach box from scoobyparts.

so the ppp doesnt always mean it has prodrive springs? or is it just a geometry set up....it does handle well and felt far sharper than the sti hawkeye i test drove on the same day

My blob has the same red front shocks and gold/bronze shocks on the rear.
I'm guessing at some point the rears started knocking so they were replaced but with a different brand Any issues running different branded shocks front and rear (all springs are the same) ? I'm considering buying some red sti rear shocks for piece of mind...

They make the OEM shocks in the same factory, but paint them to suit...

Thanks for that dunx, so there shouldn't be no difference between the 2 pairs of shocks other than 1 pair is red the other is bronze/gold?
