Thumbs up To drop or not to drop...

Ok, so I am getting tired of looking at the mean gap between my wrx wagon's wheel wells and my 17s.

I am thinking about getting some performance springs but have a few concerns:

-price
-brand reliability
-camber tweakage

Are aftermarket springs a safe bet for our cars?

p.s. pics of lowered wagons would be tight. thanks

Aftermarket springs are fine. I have Tein s-techs on mine and have had no problems.

check out this link

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...spagename=WD1V

the front comes down 1.7", wth the rear only dropping .8" i know that this to compensate for the extra large gap in thr front wheel well, but a 1" difference seems huge!!
