I recently put Prodrive springs on my wagon. The handling improvement is significant but so is the ride degradation, not so much due to the increased ride rates but more from the reduced front ride travel. Now, I frequently get jounce bumper crash through where I would sail through smoothly with the stock springs. Here in Metro Detroit there are plenty of roads that are either in need of repair or are being worked on. If springs were available in a selection of rates and check loads to choose from, I'd select springs somewhere inbetween stock and the Prodrive ones, the front ride height is just too low now.

From a ride standpoint, the spring rates seem a little high for the stock dampers. It's not a problem, but the ride does seem a bit underdamped with a tendency toward pitch oscillations.
