Default OMP springs for MY01

Hello,
Has anyone fitted OMP springs to MY01 WRX (30mm down)?
I would like to fit the springs but I can't decide: OMP or Prodrive.
OMP is about 50% cheaper than Prodrive eibachs. Any comments would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Mark

I fitted (opps had fitted) Prodrive Eibach's which cost about £196 plus fitting. they drop the car about 20-25mm which is more than enough for todays roads and speed humps. Even this drop causes me flaps to rub under cornering. The springs are very good and provide a good increase in stiffness for cornering while still maintaining a acceptable ride quality for normal driving. Which ever option you choice get them fitted somewhere that will reset the geometery afterwards, I took mine to Powerstation who worked there magic.

Personally spiking I can't compare OMP with Prodrive stuff even if they are both Eibach made as Prodrive have a lot of R&D in their springs.
Of course is your money but for suspension that is a major part of the car I believe some extra money worthwhile!
