I was told that the STi pinks are good because they are not to aggresive for the stock strust. They give the car about a one inch drop front and back and the feel is pretty good. Also Tein S-techs are a great spring.

If you want comfort with a subtle drop (1" front and .5" rear) go with the Swift Springs or the Perrin Springs, which I believe are about the same. You may just want something that will maintain a considerable amount of your stock strut life and give you a little better handling and lose the nasty stock ride height.
However, if you are a guy who wants handling and a nice *** drop go with the Prodrive, Cobb, or Tein Springs, which give you about a 2" drop up front and a 1-1.5" drop in the rear. This may blow your stock struts after a while... probably well after 20k, but they will eventually.
I bought the Swift's for my car because GST convinced me that the Prodrive Springs would blow my stock struts, however now 6 months later my Swift's are way too moderate and I will be buying the Prodrive, Cobb, or Tein Springs.
Just sit down and think about what you want
*also keep your stock springs in case you do blow your struts with after market springs so you can put them back on and go to the dealer lol
