And if you did how much did you pay for it and what is the overall feel of it? Much rougher ride or just enough to make it worth the cost on the track? Seriously considering this kit adn wanted some info.
Cheers

I have the World Rally Sport setup. I wouldn't trade it straight up for any suspension short of DMS rally length or the like. Decent ride, little body roll, super fast turn-in, tons of grip... there just isn't much room for improvement on these. The only sticker is the price- they are up to about $1500 new, which is more than some coilovers cost. I paid much less for mine used some time ago, but I've only seen one set for sale since then- and I almost bought it to keep around for when mine go out. It's that good. If you drive your car everyday, I wouldn't recommend any other off-the-shelf setups.

Thanks a lot! Where have you seen the World Rally Sport set up for sale? It sounds like that is exactally what I want though the P1 is still in the running.

I believe my friend has the WR setup and it is pretty nice. Very accomidating at times but when you hit bumbs or start to kick it up a couple notches then they feel awesome. The spring rate isn't too over powering and the dampeners are constantly trying to find the perfect balance between road holding and comfort.

However, I'd get Coil overs for the money. They just have too much adjustability to resist. It's up to you, just remember you're spending 1k plus on springs and struts.

I second that question.

I'm just curious what the drop is on the WR suspension setup... also, how's it compare to to the eibach or prodrive springs w/kyb agx strut combo?

I wish I went to more meets...

Sorry I forgot to get back to this thread. Any authorized Prodrive dealer can get the WR Sports. It's far superior to the Eibach/AGX or Prodrive/AGX combo. Much better matching of the strut/springs, and the rates are sorted out superbly. My drop is pretty deep, less than 2 finger gap rear, a little more than 2 front. My setup has ~50k on it though, so it may be sagging a little. Hard to say, I got mine used.
