| What lowering springs would people recommend for the Hawk Sti, been looking at the Tein ones, but not sure what them or others are like, don't want the ride to be too hard or bouncy but definitely want the lower look, anybody got any pictures of there's or any recommendations thanks | |

Did the alignment need setting up again Iddy after having the prodrive springs fitted or will it still be ok. | |

| Stevie I've got the prodrive ones on mine I think there great and just lower the car that little bit that it allows you to also have mudflaps on with them dragging the floor | |

| Think it's around 35mm drop, I've never had the geometry realignment as of yet as i never use the car ATM was gonna wait untill feb till I get the wheels refurbed and get everything done together, the prodrive springs made a massive difference even in the general feel of the car when cornering | |

| Does anybody know the difference to look at between the prodrive springs for the widetrack blobeye and the none widetrack blobeye, as I need the widetrack ones to fit to my hawkeye. | |
