Question Prodrive springs on Hawkeye - riding high!

Just noticed my Hawkeye WRX has blue prodrive springs on which surprised me as the ride height is very high, looks exactly as standard in fact.

My question is do the prodrive springs lower the car at all? And if so could mine be fitted incorrectly cause the high ride height?

Prodrive springs are suppose to lower by 25-30mm mate.

I can only comment on my hawkeye sti prodrive springs which are red, lowered the car by a good 25mm. If you look carefully you should see prodrive stamping on the springs. You could try contacting prodrive themselfs to see if the wrx springs are lowering or just uprated for performance.

Unlikely. Prodrive (Eibach) lowering springs lower by 24mm - this IS alot in scooby terms - any more and you're into alot of suspension correction issues
