Eibach do make the prodrive springs and they dont really lower the car more than normal.The difference between the eibach springs on a sti compared to the prodrive units are the way the springs are coiled,with the prodrive ones being more suited to uk roads.
Sti bilsten suspension set up :
Prodrive Bilstein Set up :
As for finding some keep scouring the for sale section on here or pistonheads ,etc

To be fair mate,they have lowered my car from std quite a bit ,but the ride is not that bad and dispite this i have never caught my vortex on any of 32 speed bumps going to my girlfriends house, but the general handling of the car has improved 100% using prodrive geometry setting.This has seen the car tend not to understeer as much when it was on the std set up ,and loads more grip mid corner enabling you to get on the gas quicker on the exit of the corner .
That does look quite low doesn't it
I've just captured the last set scoobyparts had of the genuine Prodrive ones... should be here and fitted tomorrow...
My car will be hopefully raised in height with these on

Bonesetter,
On what springs you're running at the moment? Asking because I'm looking for some springs that will make my car lower than it's now. Prodrive ones didn't make it much lower to standard springs. Handling and ride quality is BRILIANT but... NOT low enough for me :-) I'm considering to swap them for TEIN ones but, again, some people complain about ride quality and handling. They say too "Bouncy".
By the way, springs I've got now are exactly same as Tim's ones from Scoobyparts.

Eibach P1 springs are Red yes, Prodrive specified the springs rate for them.
if these are identical spec's to the Blue prodrive spring i have no idea, all im saying is that prodrive springs you could buy as part of optional extra's where blue. you could compare the part numbers on the spring
The Blue prodrive springs are those associated with the handling package for the WR Sport
only other difference i know between 'off the shelf' Eibachs & Prodrive Eibachs are that the prodrives eibachs are a linear spring, the 'off the shelf' eibachs are a progressive spring
@bonesetter - KYB shocks with KYB Front top mounts and new OE rear mounts
