Tanabe DF210's ??

Hi, i am new to subaru and will soon be the owner of a 2002 WRX sedan. i want to get some springs that will do 3 things.

1 - even out the wheel gaps (front looks same as rear) and a pretty descent drop.
2 - not kill my stock struts
3 - have a pretty soft ride (not too harsh or bumpy)

i have looked at various springs...eibachs i hear tend to sag in the rear...tein h-techs dont provide the drop that i want...as well as the prodrives and jdm pinks

then i came across the tanabe DF210's which lower 2" front and 1.5" in the rear...and aparently the spring rates are only raised 15% or so from stock. the price is great too.

anyone have any experience with these, any info or tips?

thanks

A WRX doesn't like to be dropped 2" in front. It screws up the front geometry and will blow the struts prematurely. If you really want to drop the front that much you might want to look into the 6gun ball joint extenders. https://www.i-club.com/forums/suspension-handling-brakes-195/holy-grail-lowered-wrx-must-read-track-junkies-153624/
