How low can you go?

And I was worrying about the drop in ride height I will get from the Prodrive springs. I am obviously a softlad.

I like to see lowered cars, but is it just me or do your wheels now look smaller

thx for the sympathy

midichlorian · 21 May 2009, 20:26

MickP - Picked mine up from Prosport today after its 1000 mile oil change.

Saw yours I think? (black, euro spec?, silver BBS, tinted windows, red rear lenses, etc!)

Pete measured the ride height on mine (std) & yours - straight after install the prodrive springs lower the height by 20 mm.

Pls post your impression of the springs!

The other STI there was a white JDM twin scroll - I think they have plans for it

orthochris · 21 May 2009, 21:39

Yeh
I am looking forward to hearing what MickP thinks of his new springs. Mine is in for the PPP and prodrive springs next Thursday.

**bioforger** · 23 May 2009, 17:43

Is it just me or does that look like a 100% track car??

Just found out why my steering was so light and iffy. The fronts were pumped to 35 psi and the rears 32 psi!!!! Ok its a diesel but still, thats hard...

Still thinking about the Prodrive springs though......

mickp · 25 May 2009, 18:48

Yep Prodrive springs on now guys and they make quite a difference. Did some twisty roads on the way back from Elvington yesterday and the body roll has gone. The ride is of course that bit firmer but i reckon Prodrive have got it bang on.

PPP & Springs have made a huge difference.

That looks great

. My car is booked in for Wednesday to have the PPP and springs fitted. You have just made my night Mick

. Reading your thoughts on them I am even more excited

. It looks great too. I think I might get some 19" wheels for mine next, I am not a fan of the Prodrive GT2 though.

mickp · 25 May 2009, 20:08

Chris

Your car will be transformed.....promise.

Let us all know what you think when the jobs done.

Getting there now Rob. When it is bang on i will probably sell it

silver demon · 25 May 2009, 20:56

very nice mickp. Is it much lower on the prodrive springs? and how did you do your rear lights?

Simon C · 25 May 2009, 21:09

What tyre pressures are you guys running??

Just converted the kgf /cm2 figures on the door plate and it comes in at 32 psi for mine.

codie247 · 25 May 2009, 22:42

Rob84 that looks awesome mate, love the stance!
MickP looks v nice! is the ride much stiffer? i've just ordered a set from Pete aswell.

Prodrive say the springs give a 15mm drop but in reality it's more like 20mm. Just about right IMHO.

The car is firmer but not over the top. Does make quite a difference on the twisty roads
