Here's mine, not a blobeye, but almost
It's been lowered on Tein S-Techs... 25 at the back and 35 front...


Handling is much much better, can feel the difference on roundabouts.
Have to say though, ride can feel a little bit more bumpy on crappy roads, but then I suppose that's the sacrifice you have to make...

I plan to lower my wrx soon with some 18" OZs, I was thinking maybe 30-40mm Eibach springs. Many others got these?

my 05sti on Prodrive springs, big surprise that it's a much better ride quality than std springs which i wasn't expecting seeing as they're not that much dearer than other top brands i'd consider these a very good buy.

Thought so, they really fill the arches. Looks really good. Also like the white sti sticker, looks a lot fresher than the pink imo.
Didn't you have this up for sale?
