Default Prodrive suspension

Hi all,

I picked up my 2002 STi with prodrive suspension a month ago. I've noticed that when slowing, just before coming to a complete stop, the suspension feels as though it's unstable.

A little 'bumpy' if you like. It's difficult to describe.

Is this anything to do with the Prodrive suspension, or should I get it checked out?

There's absolutely no problem when moving,

Cheers,

SN

That should have nothing to do with the fact that it's Prodrive springs.
Initial checks would be wheel balance, disc warping, worn suspension bushes etc. Certainly get the front anti-roll bar bushes checked out.

Thanks.

Is this something I should get looked at straight away, or wait until the next service?
