Default Springs

Im after a set of springs for my bug WRX. Narrowed it down to these:

Spax SSX, Apex, GMax.

Anyone got any of these fitted?

Im after comfort as its my everyday car, and uprated over OE so I can do the odd trackday every 6 months.

Eibachs or Prodrive. Both made by the same company. Both good for what you want.

How much are the Prodrive springs lowered by?

The Spax SSX springs are 30mm front and25mm rear, so the car sits flat?

Eibachs are great imo, about a 25-30mm drop with improved feel and not bumpy at all..

Eibachs and Prodrive are made by the same company but they do have slightly different ratings, I dont think you can go wrong with the PD ones, sensibly lowered but not slammed.
