tsk tsk indeed.
But seriously, think about what performance gains you want and spend accordingly. Cheap stuff only goes so far. Usually...

according to that link, the prodrives are a nice upgrade but are not the best for cornering and tracks. If I were to get front and rear sways with endlinks and the prodrives, do you think i would still have a weird compression while cornering or would it be ok? anyone done something like this before and have input?

i have a 06 wrx tr and i have tanabe springs on it from db tuned and they work great. rides smooth and handles the turns great! the car doesn't even look dropped until you get in it and drive it. you should look into it. i was the same way... didn't wanna spend a fortune... and they didn't cost alot either...i paid a little over two. good luck

One of my friends has Prodrives on his '04 WRX with Whiteline sways and all the "lesser priced" mods I listed in one of my previous posts and is at Thunder Hill quite frequently and has said nothing but good about them. I've driven his car a few times and was pretty impressed with the ride/handling and plan on setting mine up in a similar fashion.

check the spring rates on the STI take offs vs the other springs
it's one of the stiffer springs out there and works great for daily driver and spirited driving + occasional track days.
they shoud only be around 80 shipped or like 50 picked up as far as decent pricing.
then hit up some whiteline sway bars and endlinks...then you have money leftover for something else later...like Dpsecs.
