Looking for Good Springs
Well, at the end of this year I will most likely be trading my WRX in for something else. Throughout the year, I will probably start to part out my car one piece at a time. I was planning on getting rid of my coilovers and just putting my stock suspension back on along with some BBS' hopefully. My question to you guys is.....
what springs are you currently running and how do you like them? I hate the look of the stock ride height and want something lower. Not TOO low though. It would be great if you guys on springs could post of picture of your ride height. Thanks in advance.

maybe.....
I don't know yet actually. I have all these thoughts in my head but still haven't really decided. I'm just going to test drive a bunch of cars and do a bunch of research to see what I like.

Jeez, thats almost like asking what wheels should I run? Theres just SOOOOO many options and like wheels it has everything to do with your personal preference. And also as important, what kind of struts you plan on running?
It sucks that for as many great spring choices we have, theres very few decent aftermarket strut options available without spending more than a grand. One nice thing about my vette is bilstein makes two different flavors of replacment shocks for my vette (street or sport, both are excellent) both sets are $300, that usually includes shipping, but bilsteins for a suby are over $1k!

Why not? I'm running that along with tons of other people. They may not be the best for the struts ride height wise but its the best drop and handling springs you can get.
Swifts are pretty nice too.

I vote swifts as well. Nice fender gap with uncompromised comfort.
He has a WRX not an STI like you, get some RCE blacks instead of the yellows
