I am ordering my spring tomorrow.
Any suggestions between H&R, Tanabe GF210, Eibach, Prodrive ?

no i did not get camber bolts. I dont think it was thrown off that much at all and definately i want some negative camber. Just make sure your toe is set right.

capaSTi,

you might save yourself some labor or money if you wait on the grp n strut tops to be installed with your springs.

Myself I'm waiting on the prodrive springs, but since they've been delayed again and again I might just have to go with the pinks. Gonna wait it out one more week tho.

Default How to run in the STI????

I've ridden in an STI with GF210's.

COuldn't tell the difference from stock except better cornering.

Didn't notice the drop height until getting out and then asked the driver what he did. Just 210's. So I couldn't tell the difference when I was blinded to the mods. THat's good.

I'm getting pinks in a few weeks, I'll post what I think then.

gf210s are as close as your gonna get to the pinks/spec c sports without paying alot of $$ (have almost the same spring rate as the jdm spec c)... prodrive's will probably be the same as you see for the wrx :roll: (wasn't impressed), but their active suspension is something i may have to do in the future...

Could anybody provide me more info on the Prodrive springs you guys are talking about here.

I could not find any info on Prodrive's site.

I am kinda leaning toward the GF210 as it is the closest to Pink w/ great price. But I am open to Prodrive once I know the spec.


Thanks...
