Recommendation on springs for a wagon

I got an 02 wrx wagon. I bought the car with H&R springs and am thinking about changing them to tein stechs. Any recommendations or comments are appreciated.

808subaru - The H&R's are okay. The rear is sagging a bit...i think those springs are better for the sedans. wrxgrl has stechs on her wagon and they look and feel good. Let me know when you get yours installed.

Anyone else have comments or recommendations on any other springs?

I would say Tein STech is a good choice.

the s techs are good because of how low the car drops and how stiff it becomes. the h&r's ar good to because of the brop but the ride is not as harsh as the s-techs. rsr makes a drop spring too but i havent meet anyone that has em yet but its used by drifters so im guessing it should be pretty good.

I'm running the B+G springs and like the ride ok. The stance is good with 18X8 with 45's. Check it

How much are you willing to spend and how compliant of a ride do you want. I've done Cusco's, then Teins and have gone back to Cusco's. Go w/ Zero 2's, not the R's since they're inverted struts and a bit more hastle to adjust rebound /dampening.
