Cool 2005 Wrx Prodrive Springs

I'm looking for springs to lower my 05 WRX on and i've heard that prodrive springs are the best for the buck. I'm Wondering if this is true and if anyone out here has it and how they look. Also if anyone can find me somewhere that i can purchase these springs for cheap or if anyone has a hookup that can help me..
Thanks.

i think it was like a 20~25mm drop. my car looks almost stock height. i have about 2 fingers on the front. the ride isn't too harsh. i think prodrive sets a enforces prices on everything they sell, so there's very little price fluxuation between dealers.

I bought mine from Scoobytuner.com. They were 270 shipped. I haven't installed them yet, but I will post pics when I do.

Here's a pic of a car with Prodrives http://www.i-club.com/forums/attachm...chmentid=20481.

I'm about to sell my SPT's and install a set of Ground Control's so I can pick my own spring rates and adjust ride height to my liking.

prodrives only lower about ~20mm
fit about 1 finger in the rear, and a little over 2 in the front. if you're looking for something lower, i wouldn't get these.

Actually Prodrives lower the car around 1.5" which is around 38mm.

BTW, the way you guys are gauging the fender gaps is pretty funny if you think about it .

yea the prodrives for the 04-05 lower around 38mm in the front. i think the 02-03 line doesn't drop it quite that much...

i'm looking into them myself for the 05. so far i've heard good things.
