I'm trying to decide which springs I should get. I mostly want springs because I want to eliminate the front wheel gap, but adding some more stiffness would be nice.

Right now I'm running a full v7 STi take off (lateral links, trailing arms, sway bars, struts, springs, top hats, etc..) and I've only heard awesome things about this set up + the Prodrive springs; unfortunately, I've heard nothing about the Tein S springs and this set up.

I realize there is a pretty substanial price difference, but if the performance is there, I'm not so concerned about that. ($190 for Tein vs $300 for Prodrive)

Does anyone have some pictures or testimonials?

 

ok, so I'm about three sheets to the wind here Saturday night, but let me chime in with my take on the spring thing.......

Springs and shocks NEED to be matched up, you can have the coolest springs in the world or the happenin-est shocks, but if they aren't set up to work together, you are seriously gonna be screwed.

So I expect the Prodrive springs are probably more or less designed around the STI set-up, whereas the Teins........(?)

If it was my call- I'd scrounge up the extra $110 for the prodrive....

not exactly a testimonial, but that's my suggestion.

for what its worth







( personally- i have plenty of fun on the stock suspension with SPD sway bar in back, if I could afford a full-on Prodrive coil over set-up that is what I'd have, if I can afford a DMS rig when the time comes that's where I'll go,


but I think "mix and match" suspension tuning is going to be an expensive way to learn 1) that there are experts that know this stuff and 2) its worth our money to pay them to set our cars up the way we want them)

 

I understand what you're saying, Pete, but I really want to eliminate the ****ing front gap! AHHHHHHHHH! ok sorry, screaming over.

 

ok that above post was me, but i didnt pay attention who i was logged in as (i'm on a friend's computer)

 

you consider Max a friend?











ha ha


so do I......

 

i have prodrive springs and the ride is great since they're made for stock shocks. def. worth the $$$.
