New Age Handling on 18 inch wheels
Hi All.
I have a 2004 WRX which is standard other than Prodrive springs and was wondering what experiences anyone has with fitting Prodrive 18 inch wheels to New Age Scoobs in terms of steering and handling etc and whether it's worth the cost.
Also what are opinions of the P Zero tyres they come with.
Thanks.

Had eibachs fitted at powerstation and had the geom set up
Having just had new wheels and tyres two weeks previous the handling was immense, so much more responsive and crisp. Just going to buy some Ultrac's to replace worn toyos so we'll see how they perform

Got Prodrive springs and 18" Speedlines on mine and its great
Many more choices then choosing expensive Subaru options when it comes to 18" wheels and tyres.

Can't comment of the affect on steering etc. as mine were fitted from new (MY03 Sti: the black 'n gold pimp look wasn't for me).
As to the Pirelli tyres: good grip in wet & dry, very little tramlining and after 22k they still have 5mm of tread left (over 3 times the legal requirement) so they seem to be lasting well
