BEST springs for price?

Simple as that..I want to know what you guys think are the best springs for the money. Currently looking at the following:

-H&R
-Cobb
-Agency-Power
-open to all others..


Im not going to lie, I want a nice drop. I dont want a terrible ride though. Ive heard really good things about Cobb but I was wondering if you guys could post your opinions and pics of maybe your setups. I drive a bugeye wrx too. My girlfriend is buying these for me for my bday so Id like to keep it fairly cheap preferably below $300. POST PICS PLEASE and REVIEWS

Thanks

my vote is for swift springs. The drop is perfect and the ride is almost as smooth as stock springs.

Paul, I understand you are quite partial to the Tanabes, my question is how much of a drop can I expect, and dont worry, whatever my decision is I will be doing business through you! Will you accept my GF's credit card? LOL but Im serious

edit- anyone have pics of the ride height from swift, tanabe, or cobbs? I tried using google but not much luck

My Forester and STi are on Tanabe springs. Swift is also a great choice.
Come by the shop and I'll show a few car's rid heights.

i second gf210's. search on here, iwsti or nasioc for pics, not google. they give you a very nice drop and a slight increase in performance. the swifts are a bit over priced imo

My roommate has Cobbs on his 06 tr, and I had them on my 05 sti.

While they do drop the car really low, they ride terrible and cause relatively quick damage to your struts. My stock sti struts blew after about 15k miles on the cobbs. my roommate's struts were gone after about 10k miles.

From personal experience, I have a negative bias toward the Cobbs.

I love my Tanabe GF210 combined with Tokico D-Specs and Paranoid Fab Spacers. The ride height looks aggressive and handles pretty well. I'll take snap shots when I get off of work for you.
