Hope everything goes well for you & Natalie over the next few days & beyond Cal

Prodrives for me too. Drops the car, comfort is about the same as before though.

16 people browsing Scottish Scoobies this evening - anyone on the chat for a blether?
-
you need to put the end IMG tag on - /IMG
Edit: You've just done it. Nice car!

I may be talking complete BS on this one, so if anyone reads this & agrees then please correct me.
I've read, and heard, in the past that Eibach DO make the springs for Prodrive, but unlike the springs that Eibach make & sell to other distributors the spec is slightly different for the prodrive ones. I've also heard reports of people having the eibach springs fitted to their cars and then having a knocking noise, possibly because the spring isn't sitting in the cups at the top of the front suspension properly.
As I say, might be total jobbies.

I've got a blobeye WRX with the Prodrive springs fitted - Subaru dealer fitted them for me + put the recommended Prodrive geometry settings on the car - total price (including the cost of the springs) was £388 from memory.
They lowered the car approx 25mm at the front and 20mm at the rear, which was fine for me. I have the STI front bumper winglets on my WRX + a Scott Lowe splitter and it doesn't catch on speed bumps. I do need to watch if I go up/down a steep hill onto a flat surface though, and I have damaged my splitter by parking too close to the kerb once.
My car also has 18" wheels on it, which helps fill the arch a bit better.
Handling was definitely improved, but I didn't notice much difference at all in comfort - it's roughly the same as it was before. I don't have any uprated droplinks or uprated ARB's etc - just the springs.
Bear in mind too that the springs may take a few days to 'settle' so don't immediately think your car hasn't been lowered by much as soon as the springs are fitted.
Quite a few people on here have Tein's fitted to their cars, which make your car quite a bit lower than the prodrive ones.

Anyone logging in this evening for some football banter?

Very nice iain
Geez a wee shot
-
Looks much better Kit - fancy nipping round and doing my car too?
-
104.9 down in Whitburn last week.
I'm going up to Aberdeen on Monday - I wonder if it'll be cheaper up there.
-
Thats a very tidy wagon you've got there
-
Andy, great pictures. Some cracking looking cars and the eye candy looks none to bad either.
Did you collect any of the pit babes numbers Andy?
That evo wagon looks superb.
-
I would drink that GTR's bath water, so I would.
-
Many congratulations
-
Chris - you don't fancy a nice red blobeye WRX do you?
Strictly speaking it's not for sale at the moment, but in reality everything is for sale if the price is right!
-
- looks very nice the way it is.
Only one small suggestion though, which I don't think would be possible - but here goes.
What about the spokes and centre painted the same as is, but the lip polished?
-
If only!
-
Aye, twiz probably maself. Has a meeting at our office in the gyle
Didn't spot any other scoobies (can't remember seeing any - but then I have trouble remembering what I done half an hour ago) - where were you?

You sure it was today? My car was in Grieves yesterday, was driving it back home around 5pm.
-
Seen one this afternoon in Ian Grieves - very nice.
Surely the main difference between it and yours John is the alloys and the grille?
-
That pic is a cracker
-
Shirley a company will start selling redesigned rear lights and front grilles for these pretty sharpish.
I'm going to be a Faither ......
