If you just change the springs all you'll do is ruin the handling.

Not too sure of my facts here, but isn't the P1 an Sti V5 with Eibach lowered springs?
I would think though the V5 Sti set-up is really good on the road as an all-rounder, certainly my Sti V3 was.
I am assuming everything is in good condition.
