Default 07 2.5 springs

Just bought my first subaru a brand new 2007 2.5 impreza. Car handles good i like it just i can't stand the fact that the front end is monster truck height, so i've been trying to find some springs and struts to lower it, but i can't find anything. Has no one made springs or struts for this model yet? A link to a web page or a company name would be more than enough help.
Thanks

Yep they do ride high in standard form. I fitted Prodrive springs which are excellent. Front drops nicely and ride is considerably better.

I agree,too much room in the arches for my liking.

I've filled them out a little with 18's and getting the Prodrive springs fitted next week.

Have to add that you don't really need to replace the struts if you like the ride already,just get the Prodrive lowering springs that were made to be fitted with the standard ones.

I am definetely getting the springs for mine enxt week. Think I need the geometry looked at as well, hard braking from 100+ gets the backend moving around a bit. Anyone else have this? It might just be a hawkeye thing as it looks like the RB320 does it alot from what I have heard and seen on the Evo test vid....

?

I've been told by the dealer fitting my springs that it's best to let them settle for a bit (500 - 1k miles) before getting the geometry set up.
