Tried that - £240 new, when you 'click to buy' it directs you to send an email with model etc. They didnt reply.


Tried to call them and the receptionist said 'We're short staffed' Try again soon !!

Just go to subaru, thats where I got mine from think I paid about £200, Ring Adam at SG Petch (01748) 826912 - he will sort them for you, he will deliver them to your nearest SG Petch too.

Cheers all. Not the most user friendly webite is prodrives!

Cheers Jonny,

The link above refers to WRX springs - Are they different or all the same?, I'm confused

Some of the sites I've looked at sell springs for the WRX but state they are different for the STI (Revolution for example) or will only lower the WRX.

I think they are different, mine are red. I think the STIs are red and the WRX are blue they have different part numbers on the Subaru web site as well.

Sorry mate, my bad, Iddy is spot on, wrx are blue and sti are red, for some reason I thought you wanted them for a wrx

Not a bad price that, would they work well with the standard WRX dampers or would it just make the handling worse than standard.

They are designed for the standard dampers mate

Any one got a picture with them fitted to a Newage on standard 17's trying to picture the stance 25mm lower. Will there improve the handling much or make the car tram-line everywhere? Was going to leave the springs standard and just get Whiteline arbs/drop links. Whats peoples views? Mind ain't finished with the engine yet still saving for new turbo/TMIC.

So, the results so far are, SG Petch for my Prodrive springs (Cheers Iddy) and Calvert wants some pics (and me too)

Therefore, any before and after pics of WRX's and STI's with spring conversions would be good.

Cheers

Rob

Cheers that looks spot on. Are yours 17's Jonny?

Before with 17's



After with 17's



after with 18's



mine hasn't dropped no where near as Johnny Gavs although the handling is a lot better and doesn't understeer asmuch, would like it a bit lower, the front has dropped slightly but the back hasn't moved

18's mate

Must comment on the service from Gilesgate in Hexham, spot on and well recommended! Ordered them 3pm Friday, Brian from the stores arranged it for me to collect them 9am Saturday morning off the Secretary.

So, got them in the boot, know how to fit them just short of some compressors.

I live in Prudhoe and plan fitting them at my Dads in Jarrow - anyone willing to lend me a set of coil spring compressors over the BH weekend??

Cheers

Rob.

Fitted my springs the other day - Before and after pics below.






Measurement wise the front is about 20-25mm lower. I need the Geometry checked next before I can really feel any difference.

Does any one no anywhere else to buy these? There's non left on eBay and googles turned up nothing, prodrive websites seems a chew sending emails.
