Default Produce lowering springs

I have the above springs on my 05 sti and was thinking of changing them to teins or apex. Will these lower my car any more?? Or am I best staying with the prodrive ones?? If I do change them I'll have the pro drive ones up for grabs
Thanks all

Teins will lower your car more than the Prodrive springs. Teins lower by ~38mm, PD ones 1"

Be warned though, Tein's overlower the Impreza and degrade handling. My advise would be keep your Prodrive's which are an excellent spring

i ve had teins and they are superb on smooth roads, however braking over slightest of bump/manhole lids ect is a problem so if i were you i would stick with the prodrive springs. i changed from teins to bc coilovers as my shocks where knocking and would reccomend the bc,s. the adjustability is great. you can go low if that,s your thing and still be comfortable. jason

But DON'T go low if you value handling over appearance.
