Default Eibachs?...any good?

Looking at lowering my impreza, thinking of Eibachs as i have used before (non-impreza application)...

Has anyone with good/bad things to say about these springs on std dampers?....or anyone used anything different and had better results?

I dont want to lose too much comfort, not bothered about improving handling as its excellent as is. So long as it isnt any worse, just want the lower look

Any help greatly appreciated

Eibachs only lower the car by a max of 30mm, most report a drop of less than that though. They do, however, improve the handling of the car and don't compromise the ride. They don't cost the earth either. Lowering the car is all well and good for asethetics, but generally kills the ride and spoils the handling. Drop it by too much and you'll start scraping speed bumps etc and make the car a pain in the *** to use everyday, which is a real own goal with a performance car know for its practicality.

I'd not go go for any greater drop than the Eibachs personally.
