Question STI pinks vs. Cobb Tuning springs

Sorry, but it was hard to find a straight comparison to the two. I plan on running stock shocks with either one of these springs. Just wondering about ride quality and also amount of drop. I can't find a set amount of drop for the Pinks, but I know the Cobb is 2" front and 1.5" rear which would give it a great stance, if not a tad too low. Just looking for opinions from anyone who has either setup. Thanks everyone!

By the way, these are going on an '07 STI. Thanks!

JDM Pinks are about a 1 inch drop front and rear (it's advertised as 20mm but it ends up at around 1 inch).

Cobbs drop way too low and will probably have a negative impact on handling. Ride quality and handling will both be better with the Pinks.

Let me know if you have any questions, suspension is our specialty and we actually have our own spring options.

I really love my pinks. They do not drop the car too much where it is scraping everything. They also do not bounce or anything. Very positive effect on handling, much stiffer then stock. +1 for pinks
