Prodrive Springs fitted today ........

[~ ~ Cal ~~]

Got these fitted today along with two new rear shocker and then full prodrive geo settings...............Hawt diggity ! [<)]

Observations as follows :-

less pitch and dive during acceleration

way less roll ( almost neglible) on beds

car corners a lot flat and thus mair grip all round

confidence in the wet is greatly increased

car feels planted at 70 mph +

initial turn in is tremendous

mud flaps may need hoisted up a notch

they do not bottom out even at high speeds over a series of washborad style bumps

look a bit "pimpier" with the 30mm drop.

So brakes, suspension and power are pretty sorted for now. Very useable every day driver at the moment. I said I would not do anymore modding but cannot get Defi's oot of my heid just now..............Tried the louder exhaust route ( for 20 mins)

On track @ KH on Sunday to test the car.........I hope it's wet !

Good stuff Cal. How's the ride quality over bumps?

The Teins work great on the track, but sometimes it does feel a bit rough on the pot hole filled roads.

Ride is firm but not crashy..........I would describe it as pliant. Steering feel is dampened at low speeds but at 30mph plus it feels way more responsive. They are gonna send me the geo settings print-out  in the post

Cost for springs was £165 for springs ( but got SIDC discount of 10% )  plus two hours labour @ SIDC rate ( £90) + VAT.  The Geo set up was £89

Peter - see you up there brother [H]

Yeah I will try and take some.......even with the PFF7's filling the arches it was kinda sitting high before. I had a full compliment of people in the car today and it still handled nicely although the mats were rubbing around like a teenager dry riding !

Good stuff Cal the wife got the very same setup done to her blobeye a month or so ago, all i can say is wot a diffrance not sure if you notice it so much because the wrx's are a bit baggy to start with, but once prodrive has had its wicked way it was like a diffrant car ........  ALL GOOD [y][]

 

I was gonna ask for a pik, you know like the one of your car away up in the hills but then i thought its a bit far for you to go for one pik .............

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So i saved you the trouble []

 

BTW - im new to this photoshop thing so its a bit ropey !!

 

[~ ~ Cal ~~]

Hey hey.............nice one JC.............not far off it to be honest. The car is sitting way lower then I expected.

My wife is away with my camera today but I wil try and get a pre & post shot

I need to get a copy of PhotoChop myself - very versatile package although MS Paint suffices for "Winstons"
