I'm currently running the Prodrive/AGX combo right now and really like how they feel. The only downside I can think off is the non-aggressive drop compared to Eibach Pro-kit (the Prodrive springs only lower the car less than 1" all around). IMO, the SPT springs I originally had (now on my cousin's WRX) was the best all around. It dropped the car more than the Prodrive (1.4 front/ 1.2 rear) and was stiffer than the Eibach Prokit (210 front/ 195 rear). The SPT springs/AGX strut combo should yield the same handling performance as the STI takeoffs but w/ a better stance.

Sorry, I'm still trying to get used to how my car handles w/ the new suspension during auto-x events. I know that Auto Innovations has good deals on Prodrive Springs if you haven't found a set yet. Tirerack.com has good deals on the KYB AGXs also. Good luck w/ the new setup. BTW, shoot a PM over to ONEMANARMY on the boards if you're selling your takeoffs. I know he's looking for a set.

Are their any coilovers that I could still commute 40 miles on and not have my fillings rattled out? What would you guys recommend? Or should I just go for an Eibach/KYB setup?

Might have some sti suspension for sale soon.
you mite want to check out VIP (foolish one) he has the eibach/kyb setup... he likes it.
