The perfect springs for people who want to improve the handling of their WRX without attracting too much attention with a complete drop. It's Prodrive spec, so they work perfectly with my wagon. Even with these springs I'm still able to run 18"x8" wheels with no rubbing on front or rear. Love them!

Pros:
|
my 17 inch rims no longer look lost under the fenders, not too stiff
|
|
Cons:

|

The Prodrive springs gave my WRX a slightly more agressive posture and satisfying ride without being too harsh for daily use. Initialy I experianced a clunking noise after installation but it was gone within a week and hasn't returned. I still will eventually move to a coilover set up but the Prodrive spings are a great buy and I have been very pleased with them. I have had the springs on my car for over a year and have no complaints.
Installation was a little time consuming but not dificult (and of course an alignment is required afterwards).

Ride is better then stock/better handling/the car evens out from the front to back
|
|
Cons:

Its hard to tell the car has springs.

Great springs for those wanting a subtle look, and better handling.
This is the units the factory STI should of came with.
Comes with new stoppers to be installed.

Perfect drop and pretty much stock ride.

Cons:

None.

This is the way that all WRX\'s should have come. Perfect drop. It\'s a linear spring which I like but, not mean to much to others. Ride is almost stock. Plus, handling is improved as well.

Evens out the front and rear fender gaps. The ride is great and the handling is much better than stock. I am using them with kyb agx struts and I am loving the combo!

Nice and easy install, Good look and better performance
|
|
Cons:

Wish they lowered a little bit more
|
|
Only wish they lowered a little more in the rear, but with the stock struts they work great. I've had them on for about a year with no problems so far. If you are semi conservative about lowering your car then these are the way to go along with the added performance going around turns at higher speeds you can't beat them.

Pros:

Great drop, not slammed which destroys stock struts
|
|
Cons:
|
price i guess?
|
|
Bought these with a groupbuy and payed 250, then another 150 for install. Driving down the same mountain roads that i normally drive is more controlled and much less body roll. The car seems to want to hug the road a lot more, whereas pot holes and such are pretty harsh now though.

Looks good, performs great.
|
|
Cons:
|
Potholes suck just a little more.
|
|
Perfect drop, not too low but still low enough to fill the gap in the fender. I've only had them on the car for a week or so but I can say that after aligned my car handles much better.
They're not stiff or bouncy, but don't take potholes as well as the stock springs. If you don't have a front lip you probably won't have any clearence issues(unless you live in SanFransisco or something). The springs really even out the car, the front is a little lower than the back and there's still alot of clearance.
I'd reccomend these springs and some good shocks to anyone who want's a good street setup on a budget.
I recently switched from stock struts to kyb gr2's and it made a huge difference. If I had to do it again, I don't think I'd run the stock struts with these. Great spring/strut combo.
