Wink Prodrive springs - Kent/Surrey REQUEST!

Am in a dilema.....

My 2003 WRX PPP requires its 20k service, and am thinking about having the Prodrive springs fitted at the same time.

After MUCH deliberation, still need a little push! I don't surpose anyone near to Kent/Surrey has a 2003 with the spings fitted. I would really appreciate a ride, just to see the difference and effect on ride (have a young daughter to consider)!

Cheers!

However, see how it goes!

Not exactly the same match but i have a 2004 wrx wagon with eibach springs (they make the prodrive springs but with a slightly different spring rate) and i'm on the south east london/kent border if that's any help.

Hello,

I have the Prodrive springs on my MY03 WRX. I'm in North Kent if you want to pop over for a spin.

Cheers,
Dunk

Thanks to Dunk to taking me out in his Prodrive sprung WRX.

Got a feeling I will be spending some money soon.

Cheers again!

You're welcome GE90. Hope you got a good enough impression of them before forking out your hard-earned

All the best,

Good decision on the springs, not sure if it was that or the four wheel alignement but the combination which was done down at Powerstation has absolutely transformed the handling of the car

Could you comment on the differences? I am thinking of doing the same upgrade. I want to achieve a slighlty harder rider with less body roll. Is this what they achieve?

Thanks

I thought you'd already head this done?

Edit - didn't realise this was a 'thread from the dead'!
