Default Hawkeye WRX lowering springs - advice please?

Hi all, I have a 2007 WRX with Prodrive lowering springs. As i understand it this lowers the front by 30mm and the rear by 25mm over normal? I now want to lower the rear to 30-35mm if possible, is there a rear spring set that will do it that everyone recommends? Also if anyone has a set (rear only) for sale then let me know as long as the price is right! Cheers, Chris.

I would advise caution when lowering your car as it will get very low to the bump stops and start giving bump steer. Also on undulating or rougher road the car will be unpredictable as you will not have the suspension travel.

Here's a thread of the pains I went through after buying a lowered blobeye JDM

If you are looking to replace the prodrive I might be interested. I will also need the prodrive bump stops the springs came with. You can PM me a price.
