06 STI lowering springs?
I have a 06 STI and want to lower it a bit with springs for now. Would like a clean, even drop with hopefully 2 fingers of a gap. I would also want to avoid the rear from sagging. Any opinions of brands? Anything I should know of?

Please post pictures as well.

Can't go wrong with Tanabe GF210 springs; moderate drop, ~35% stiffer, and work great with OE struts.
BTW I have two sets left.

+1 for the GF210's. I have them on my 04 STI and they are awesome.

okpanics car definitely looks nice. Good amount of lowering without being ugly and slammed to the ground

i've been doing alot of research before i got mine but, i think everyone agrees that all these are good brands:
rce
prodrive
sti pinks
swift
crucial
cobb

i got cobb because it was the cheapest O.o
just something before saving up for coilovers.

Hmm, looks like a clean drop. Kind of wish it was a hair more of a drop in front, but how much for them?
