Prodrive Lowering Springs
rsedwards fitted my Prodrive lowering springs and uprated rear anti-roll bar link arms today to my car 
, he did a top job and even washed the car down afterwards 
, if anyone needs any work doing to their cars get in touch in Rich I cannot recommend he highly enough.
Even on the short drive home and without the steering geometry having been done yet it has made the handling far more positive and the car no longer sits as high as a tractor either.

I have the prodrive Fast Road competition sprinbgs on my Blob, awesome handling if a little bumpy..
I have a Geometry printout of how the car should be set up, let me know if you want a copy

Right With the Prodrive spring kit and uprated front Bump stop it says it should be set up as follows..Instructions from PRODRIVE (I am also running PFF7's 18")
11. The tyre pressures and suspensiuon geometry MUST be set correctly to the figures below to achieve the full benefit of the spring package. It is also important to settle the suspension so the geometry is set at the correct ride height.
a) Set the tyre pressures to:
Front 2.3bar (33psi)
Rear 2.1 bar (31psi)
b) Settle the suspension by driving a few miles on the road.
c) Set the Geometry to:
Front camber -1degrees 15mins (-1.25degrees)
Front Toe total 0degrees 00minutes (0.00degrees)
Rear Toe 0degrees 06minutes (0.1degrees) per wheel toe in [0degrees 12minutes (0.2degrees) Total toe in]
12. Check the headlight alignment and reset if necessary as per the workshop manual

No worries, can't believe how flat the car sits with these....you go into a roundabout and get virtually no body roll at all......
Loads of fun especially if mr boy racer want's to play (why do they do that...??? up yer **** in a Saxo or Fiesta)
Rather then mess about proving a point I just don't slow down for a roundabout, then check your mirror to see Mr boy racers car almost falling over!!

hi can anyone recommend a garage that set's the geometry up. why i'm asking is i have to take my prodrive in to cvc on weds to have new shock on the back i dont know how long it's been knacked but from day 1 of owning the car the handling has been crap. so i'm willing to try anything to make it a bit better. thank's steve

They should align everything when they fit the new shock. I can recommend A&A Tyres (just round the corner from CVC). Make sure you take the Prodrive settings in with you or they will set it up as a standard impreza.
