    hey guys, i`ve been on my prodrives for a while now, and i must say, i`m not very happy...:unamused:

    do you have any suggestions? the prodrives are just too damn low and too damn soft so it bounces everywhere and it's just not the set-up i thought it would be.. arghh i`m so frustrated; at this point, since i have a grandeous plan (to get 18 x 9.5 rims to fit) i might as well start to look for a set of coilovers so i wont have to buy a separate camber kit.. what do you guys think?

    Get some stiffer springs/struts, you may not need anything high end like a coilover if you're just planning on DDing the car.

    If you have a problem with "bouncing" then that's a damper problem. If the shocks aren't tuned to the springs then end up being over- or under-damped. Are you on your stock struts? You could just get some new struts and keep the prodrives.

    save for some stance gr+ coilovers. some of the best coils for the money, and it will make fitting the 9.5s much easier.

    If you want to go budget, go sti takeoff springs and knoi inserts. You could sell the prodrives to make up some of the cost.
