Recommend me a Spring

I'm looking for some lowering Springs for an 03 WRX. I was originally looking at some Tein S tech springs which lower it by 1.7 inches for about $160. What do you guys think?

Research it a little and you'll soon see why most people shy away from S-techs for their Subaru.

There are a ton of threads about this on NASIOC as well.

What do you want to do with your car? How much money are you going to spend? Can you afford it? Will you use it?

Just something you should think about.

I just plan to lower my car a little for a sporty look and hopefully better handling.

So I have read that Tein S are bad. So instead I'm looking into Eibach Pro Kits or the Tanabe lowering spring and a set of Tanabe sway bars.

In my humble opinion, Swifts are awesome. Settle drop, and not harsh.
