Default 2006 MY Springs

The standard ride height of my bugeye and 2004 WRX's never bothered me, but I just taken delivery of a 2006, and it just looks too high. No problem I think, it's easily lowered using an Eibach or Prodrive spring kit..

But here's the problem I am hoping some will have the answer to. The car is a daily driver, and used for wife & 3 kids also, so is there a spring kit that will take it down 25-30MM but NOT firm up the ride? Voming kids are no fun..

Thanks for any advice..

I have the Prodrive springs and don’t find the ride that hard on my 06 wrx but they have made the car look and drive much better

I have the prodrive springs on my MY06 STi and the ride is more compliant rather than harder.In fact the car is now more comfortable.

Do you find them much harder than standard?

had the springs from day 1 and had to much fun in the test car to tell only big change was the way it turned in. i also had the 18" alloys so that would make it harder but dont see it as an issue for me
