Default 2006 MY Springs

The standard ride height of my bugeye and 2004 WRX's never bothered me, but I just taken delivery of a 2006, and it just looks too high. No problem I think, it's easily lowered using an Eibach or Prodrive spring kit..

But here's the problem I am hoping some will have the answer to. The car is a daily driver, and used for wife & 3 kids also, so is there a spring kit that will take it down 25-30MM but NOT firm up the ride? Voming kids are no fun..

Thanks for any advice..

I have the Prodrive springs and don’t find the ride that hard on my 06 wrx but they have made the car look and drive much better

I have the prodrive springs on my MY06 STi and the ride is more compliant rather than harder.In fact the car is now more comfortable.

had the springs from day 1 and had to much fun in the test car to tell only big change was the way it turned in. i also had the 18" alloys so that would make it harder but dont see it as an issue for me
