Anyone out there with photos of PRODRIVE springs installed on thier '04? Can you please post photos? Anyone know the center to fender measurement with these springs? Feedback on their feel and performance is welcome

check my member thread...I have them on my 04, there are photos and photos of measurements on the car itself. Hope this helps.

BrigadoonB's 04 STI - Soon to be turbosized!

I have Prodrives also. They're on stock struts.

The measurements from the center of the center cap of the rim to the fender is
Front 13.75"
Rear 14"

Here's a side pic


Anf a 3/4 pic

The pics do a good job of showing the drop. Your lower rocker panels look approx parallel to the ground with no real rake to the chassis - can you confirm?

Well, the rocker pannels aren't straight. They're a bit convoluted. Maybe sculpted is the better word.

The front where it curves under and straightens out for an inch or so before running into the seam that sticks down is 6.25" high, and at the back the bottom of the rocker is 7" of the ground.

It looks flat to the eye, but cars usually have to be low in front to look flat.

The only qualm I have with my '04 Prodrive spings is that the stance is not the same from side to side. The right front side is higher than the left front. Of course, this limits my camber for the right front without plates or different camber bolts. There have been threads in the past that people have noticed height differences.

I checked to see if the spring was seated correctly and it is. I am thinking about going with RCE springs and RCE non-lowering camber plates to make sure things are even all around.

Thanks for the reply. What if you look at the pinched metal rail that runs down the side of the car inside the rocker/side skirt? This is where I take the ride height measurement. Would you mind checking there to see if the car is level or has a rake?
