Default Tein S Tech lowering spring kit Vs Prodrive 2005>

I want to lower my 2007 STI Hawkeye and 'was' going to get a set of Prodrive springs.

Only to find they are now discontinued !!!!!!

Does anyone know how the Prodrives compare against the Tein S Tech lowering spring kit, both with ride/firmness and ride height.

I don't want to go too low, as have drive clearance issues, or too hard as will be used with family.

Thanks

Fitted Tein S Tech to my 06 wrx Hawkeye. Ride wise they are not much different to standard, ride really well. Definately feels sharper round the corners and driving is much improved. Lowered it 35-40mm in the end. may be a bit too low for you if you have a front splitter like me!

The teins will drop it a little more than prodrives, but not a massive difference. Still drive great.

Yep, think they are the ones! Would still email the seller to confirm just in case.

Think a seller on here was doing a deal recently. Worth searching for.
