What is the best Lowering springs?

hi all, any of you have any suggestion about springs for a 04 wrx wagon? I"m looking at Tein H, and the STI specific springs for the wagon. The thing is, I don't want the ride to be bumpy once I replace the springs, but I do want it lower though. Need help, especially from the wagon owners who lowered their car. Thanks.

Progress

Progress Technology makes a nice spring at about a 1.8 inch drop.
I've had them in mine for two years now on stock struts with no problems and just installed a set two days ago in my son's XB and he's very happy with the ride and amount of drop.

i don't plan on putting rims on my wagon for a long time. so, i'm goin w/the sti spec ones. the drop is (iirc) .5 front and .5 rear as opposed to (iirc) 1.8 front and .7 rear for the h-techs.

iirc some prices i've seen:

prodrive: $299
STi wagon spec: $230
Tein H-Tech: $165

just put on H-Techs

I have to say I think that they are PLENTY low on my 04 wagon. I mean not rice low, but low freaking enough. I have to say that it feels good as long as the pavement is smooth or sharp pothole like bumps. Anything longer and uneven and you feel a bit underdampend on stock shocks. turn in seems a little bit sharper too.

it looks really cool though.
