Talking lowering springs on any 04/05 wagons?

The springs are different for the 04/05 wagons and have a question for those of you out there with 04 wagons & lowered:

What springs did you get(model#)?
Where did you get them from?
Cost?
Have any pics?

I want to see what my options are.

The only wagon specific spring out for 2004+ is the "STI pinks" which are actually SPT springs. They're about $250 from your subaru parts dept or online subaru parts places (subaruparts.com etc). I don't have them, but I'm thinking about it. They lower about .5"

203304S060 - front spring (need 2)
203804S080 - rear spring (need 2)

I think the prodrive ones are very expensive and I don't think they make wagon specific ones.

You wagon guys have quite a few options. Shayne, check out boxer4racing.com Their prices are fair. I've ordered from them several times. They are extremely knowledgeable about subies. For wagons, they carry Tein, Prodrive, Perrin and Gold-line. All of which are progressive rate springs except Prodrive. Hope this helps!

ps. Have you talked to Shayne about his springs? I forget which brand he's got. His wagon handles great and ride quality is not compromised under normal driving.

They really are not that much more than the average. And yes, they do make them for the wagon, however they're built by Eibach (that's probably how they kept the cost down). see boxer4racing.com

Mine are the Eibach Pro Kit Wagon springs. They are exactly what I wanted. Mild drop. Sharper Handling. Still fairly comfortable as a daily driver, grocery getter and taxi.
