    I'd like to eliminate as much of the fender gap as possible but of course will not be going with tein's haha. Would whitelines work well? if not i'd probably stick to prodrive and get a bit less of a drop. Other suggestions work too. Are most wagon guys running 17s or 18s? Wouldnt mind some 18s

    I am going with 18s and probably H&R springs on my wagon...

    Some 18's will work, depends on the offset. I'll be going with Prodrive in July. been wondering about Whitelines though

    I have the prodrives and... if your looking for a drop, those aren't it.. It's a very mild drop. Whitelines flatouts have a very aggressive drop but rode like shit in my bugeye..

    i had prodrives as well, great springs, but not very low...if i remember correctly, cobb springs are pretty low.

    I looked at lots of different springs for my wagon. All the sets with agressive drop appear to have a saggy rear. Springs like the prodrives are probably the best as far as performance go, but as stated above, the drop is minimal.

    I went with the Tein s-techs. They have the most agressive/perfect drop Ive seen for the wagon. They also have a spring rate that is only slightly higher than stock which makes them fairly comfortable for daily driving. In reference to the rumor of them causing shocks to blow quickly, Ill believe it when I see it. By the time the shocks wear out (if they even do) I will be ready to throw on a set of coilovers anyway. 12k miles so far without any reduction in shock performance.

    I should have bought the espelirs to begin with. Kevin (skullwrx) has them and they look awesome...

    what about ground control coilovers, inexpensive and adjustable

    Your shit looks good with the S-techs. Espelirs are great but very bumpy around town.

    GC coilovers are alright. I dont know how long they take to machine your struts to fit them, regarding downtime of the car. You also lose some suspension travel with them but can use any spring rate you want. Different strokes different folks.
