What springs do you have?

I have an 06 STI and I'm looking to lower it. Was wondering if anyone would be so kind to post a picture of their car. I have more of an interest with the tanabe
gf/df210, or prodrive. I'm open to anyone who wants to post any kind of springs on their STI/WRX.

how long did it take for your spring to sag/settle in, i got mine on for about a week and still seems a bit high for a "2 inch" drop.

ALL lowering springs are at least a little bit progressive. They have to be if they lower the car and still keep the spring seated at full droop.

We tried NOT to make our springs super progressive because it handles worse that way. The ride quality is still good because it keeps the car off the bumpstops.

STI's ride very close to the bumpstops on the stock springs, drop the car 2 inches and you are on them before you even hit a bump. Not good for handling or ride quality.

they're 18''. as far as i know good springs shouldnt 'settle' too much. especially after a week they should be at their correct ride height.
