I have these on my 03 STi

Using Toyo TS-1 235/35/19 with no problems. They look better with the Prodrive springs as there is quite a gap.

Here is a pic before the springs




And after

Tracking has all been redone for the new springs but was ok before.

You obviously don't corner yours very aggressively

You should see the other (roundabout) side

Needs new boots at the front anyway

Tks Phil, if u don't mind me being nosy how much were the Prodrive springs & were they expensive to fit?
Also how much for the 19 inch Toyos?
Don't the rears rub with the Prodrive springs if you have people in the back?

No the rears don't rub - Have had 2 adults in the back with no probs.

I bought 2 new toyo's yesterday from www.camskill.co.uk for £276 including P&P and they were delivered before 10am this morning. Very impressed

Handling is sooo much better than standard now. Much less understeer.

The 19" wheels do tramline a bit, especially inside lane of motorway. Can't really compare to the original 17" though as they were only on a few days.

No speedo probs with a 235/35/19 tyre
