Prodrive vs Eibach vs STi Pink

I have searched using the search engine, but I am unable to find an answer I was hoping and looking for.
I am looking for spring/shock combo, since I can't afford a coilover system.
So my questions are, I know Eibach lowers the car about 1.3 inches and STi pink lower about 1 inch. How about Prodrive? How much do they lower the car? Which spring/shock combo do you guys recommend? I plan to also install rear sway with STi endlinks.

Prodrives... 1.25" Front
0.75" Rear

I will probably purchase some AGX shocks in the spring. The Konis are nice, but I don't want to cut up my stock struts.

suspension

i had the prodrive/eibach set up from spd on my gc8, which consisted of eibach springs and sti invereted struts. it lowerd the car about an inch. Ride was stiff but not punishing and unbelievably (sp?) fast. You don't have to have a coil over, unless you spend a lot of time on a race track, thats my opinion. With a 22mm rear sway bar. Super fun.

i think i remember reading that you can order eibach springs through ground-control.com that are built to the spring rate and drop that you specify. just thought id throw that out there because i know most springs lower the car more than what id like and it kinda seems like youre not seeing the kind of drop youd like.

IIRC, Eibach makes the Sti/Prodrive springs and KYB AGX does the same in struts. I found pics and more info here(spring rates) www.scoobymods.com

Check Bilsteins website because the've a combo for the RS, www.allsubaru.com for the WR kit(P1)-maybe similar to previous combo, www.rallispec.com for Sti kit and more, and see if W&L Subaru is still selling SPT parts for 30% off because I got the SPT st/sp's for 571 shipped.
