Prodrive springs on a wagon?

Anyone do this? What do you think?

I like my wagon, but I hate the uneven spring rates, I bounce all over the track when I go. I want something that is balanced for the track but rides smoothly on the freeway. This means I DON'T want DMS 50's

Thanks!

Re: Prodrive springs on a wagon?

I got some on my Wagon. Huge improvement over the stock springs. Stiffer, yet not too harsh and much better handling.

I got mine at Auto Innovations in Milpitas. Got them at a great price and got outstanding service. I HIGLY recommend them. They did the installation/alignment..

The Prodrive springs are nice. But I went with the Tein S-Techs. It dropped the car a little more than the Prodrives, but they have a slightly stiffer spring rate. I am pretty flat (i.e no bouncing) while on the freeway. I dread the potholes and such. I haven't done a track day yet, currently signed up for Unlimited Laps on the 20th of June. So I will know then how these springs do on a track. At auto-x they are nice. I like them a lot.

My car is a daily driver - I just don't want anything too stiff ie "I dread potholes and such".

I tried a DMS-50's car and that was really uncomfortable on a rough freeway. Handling was excellent but the rough ride and the 5000 miles/rebuild were too much for me.

Isn't there a fitment problem on the standard Teins on Wagons? That is why Tein makes a "wagon" model, right?
