depends on how much lower you want to go...prodrive and sti pinks are fairly subtle drops, while the tein stechs will lower your car much more. but like subaru crazy said, the ideal springs for you depend alot on what you are looking for performance and looks wise

I went coilovers, but like I stated earlier prodrives are the way to go. If Leo can win STX in his wagon with basically a sedan sway, and prodrives, that'd sell me on them

Talking Consider Swift!

Very happy with my Swift/GR-2 combo on my wagon. The ride is excellent, with no slamming over sharp bumps and sticks like a 'rat on a Cheeto' in the corners!!!

The drop is nice and even ~
