Default What springs ???

Hi, Looking at lowering my MY05 WRX and was wondering what springs to go for in relation for money against performance. Looked at Teins, Eibach and Prodrive. What are peoples opinions on these and is there other makes that people would recommend.

Well I've got the Prodrive springs on my STI. As far as I'm concerned they are very good. Ride quality has been improved, as well as wet weather grip.
Never really understeers much either.

I have a set of 18" wheels and PS2 tyres, so overall they contribute to a better package.
I did have the springs on for a day before the new wheels and tyres, and the difference on the first twisty road I came to was very noticeable.

Have Work Emotion CR Kai 18"s on mine wrapped in 225/35 Pirelli P Zero Neros but still need to stiffen up the ride. Have fitted a front strut brace and have the rear sitting in the boot waiting for a dry day to fit.

I have to Vote on the Prodrive Springs over to Eibachs, I've tried them both (athough may or may have made the Prodrive springs) Prodrive Springs seem far more compliant on the Sh1te bumpy pot holed roads around my way yet car still handles quite well. IMHO

I'll add a vote for ProDrive springs, and suggest looking in the suspension section
