Default SPT (STi) suspension folks...news from Prodrive land

Those considering installing Prodrive springs because they want to lower their STi V7 strut-equipped cars might want to hold off a bit.

The Ver7 struts are different from the SPT struts correct? I would think that the actual struts from the STi V7 would be more suited for the heavier STi and the SPT struts are designed with the WRX in mind? I wonder just how much weight difference there is F/R L/R from the STi to the WRX.

Just curious.

The SPT struts are STi V7 struts, as far as anyone knows.

They both look red to me. I really think you have them confused with the Sti adjustable aftermarkets.
