Perrin Springs

Anyone running Perrin lowering springs on their WRX? I am trying to decide between them and TEIN (as well as H&R, but after doing some searches I find H&R makes the Perrin?). Any feedback would be helpful.

i have the perrin springs on my car. i love them. much better than stock. plus they are pretty inexpensive. i can't really compare them to the others you mentioned as i have not driven a car with those springs on them.

wrx ish, do you have a picture of the whole side of the car since it's been lowered? I would be interested to see the whole 'picture'. If not, that's cool....I get the idea.

I would not doubt that the Perrin springs are made by H&R. It is just like the Prodrive springs which are made by Eibach.
