Looks Spot On, Lowered suspension does really give the scoobs an aggressive look.... Money well spent

Prodrive with the shorter bump stops are the only ones I would fit, but I'm fussy.

Handles much better on Prodrive or Eibach springs. Ride isn't affected as much as you might think on a decent set of tyres like Mich PS2's.

They do indeed.
But Eibach make custom springs for many companies, cos springs are not easy to make.
As understand it, under sedate driving the wrx springs on the sti will be OK, but under normal (read sporty) driving, these springs will cause the sti dampers to run out of travel on the std bumpstops. Not good.
