debating on which springs to get??

I've been looking into springs lately for my friend, and i've come down to two...

The New Tanabe SUSTEC GF210 springs or the Prodrive Springs.

This is for my friend's 04 WRX in INDIANA (snow, blizzards, rain, ****ty weather, etc.)

Tanabes are a very good price at 180.00 plus shipping...

and the Prodrives are 300.00 plus shipping

thanks for ur help

I have prodrives on my STIs...i like them, for sure the car has better handling and better ride.


They are kinda pricey, and i wish they lowered the car a bit more.
It seems like all they did was even out the wheel gap between the front and rear of the car.

best option for better suspension performance without damaging OEM WRX strut is probabily go for V7 or V8 sti strut assembely as an upgrade
it can cost from 500-700 for good set of sti take off strut
it will lower your car slightly and improve handling..
because OE wrx strut is very weak on damper rate most lowering spring will overload the struts and eventually you will need to replace them.

I have heard very good things about the Perrins and I am very satisfied with my Eibachs. Check the review site here and subarureview.com for more reviews.
