H&R lowering springs for the WRX

How much do they lower F/R and how's the turn-in change on an otherwise stock WRX?

Any dissatisfied users want to give some input?

The H&Rs lower the car up to 1.5inches all the way around. I think that is a bit much but everyone has their own preferences.

i have seen H and R's, and i think the drop is nice, but a little too low for my taste.
i am still saving money for some prodrives...

My H&R's will kick your eibachs a** . Seriously, I would not reccommend eibach's to anyone.

What do you mean by a perfect drop? Like 1 inch? 1.5 inch? Because everyone has their own taste on what is a "perfect drop." My idea of a perfect drop is no more than an inch.
