For a classic?
I fitted them to my UK my97 along with getting the geom set up properly
Handles so much better and the ride is the same (as far as I can tell)

The drop varies. Some say they see a 20mm drop other say it didn't lower it any. I thought it didn't drop much, untill it had time to settle

yes its 4 a my 96 wrx....the roads are sh*te where i live so idont want the ride any harder but theres always room 4 more handling[was hope they would make it better cause i find it a little harsh and vague at the moment....hmmm im tempted.

p.s are u running stndard rims[16inch]..i am...also what did the geometry setup involve[just checking it was ok or adjusting it away from the OEM settings?]

I have just fitted Eibachs to a MY00 and had the Prodrive geometry settings done. Still on Standard dampers.
It has lowered the car slightly, the handling while pottering around town etc. feels the same, but when you actually open up, you can tell that the springs are that bit stiffer.
The geometry makes a big difference, the car feels much more controlled on the road.
Springs and Geometry has transformed my car, for the better.
Next ARB and droplinks.

I'd agree with jtabraham above

I'm running 17"s and the ride is fine for me, the roads round here aren't too smooth either. After it's all set up you will find yourself using the back roads more anyway

You can run std Geom but there are Prodrive settings that are ment to help the handling further.
I had TSL put their own settings on after hearing good things from others and was very impresed

*NOTE* The Goem will need setting up after you disturb the shocks!!!
