Eibach prokit on 2012 wrx

If any of you guys have these or had these how do you like them? Since I'm balling on a budget debating on getting these for awhile until I can afford some coils

I had these on my car before I got BC coils, I loved the springs. The ride was as comfy as stock but handling improved MAJOR! If I could change anything about them I would want the front to drop a smidge more but they are great for the price.

So how low is .8 inches? I see the tamale springs for cheaper and they lower it 7/8 inches so which one of these is lower? My metric skills suck!

I have had the prokits for about 1 year now. As far as drop goes i personally feel they are perfect for daily driver and also tahoe trip functionality. Look even nicer with larger wheels (im on 18s). I still can scrape if im not careful. Ride comfort is good at slow speeds, but definitely gets rougher above ~25mph and can be jarring over potholes and crappy roads.. Makes sense since they are progressive springs. Overall, good as a temp drop solution for a daily driver. I plan to switch to the gtworx/bilstein kit when they start shipping again.

Thanks mike. How long did you wait to get an alignment after you put your springs on?

So I changed my mind and started to look at the Cobb springs. 7/8 drop all the way around. Sounds a little Lower than eibachs .8
