Wink Advice please on my STI 8 springs

i have a STI 8 PPP and wanted to spend a little on bits and bats and have had fitted some Prodrive springs from the dealer which lowers it and must say am very impressed - feels very taught now and keep smiling to myself what an awesome car i have- but i have the old springs at dealers and wondered whether its worth collecting and selling - how much can anyone advise would i get for these on the market ? car is 8 months old and had PPP kit fitted at dealers , sorry to sound a numpty but i am when it come to mechanics (but not of course driving ) love my car to death and now all i do is rave about subarus to anyone who will listen! if it makes any difference i had some prodrive 18 inch silver alloys (car is silver also) fitted but i guess that doesnt change spring type? lol numpty again - many thanks for any advice guys

A mate of mine has an STI 8 and is also thinking about getting the prodrive springs. Are they actually harder than the standard ones or do they improve the ride? I've read that they are less harsh. thanks

i agree ride seems a lot smoother and noty really harder (although seems harder at higher speeds) but alos have had a new set of pzero neros on at same time which may be adding to different feel.
