    Don't know about the ebach set, but I really loved my prodrive springs. Car had much better response then compared to stock WRX springs. If I remeber correctly I bought them from SOG for around $300. Remember after swaping springs to get your alignment done!

    That's the car with the prodrive springs

    I believe the springs lower the car 1.5" in the front and 1" in the rear. Somebody correct me if I am wrong.

    THanks for the reply's! One more question... Do the wrx's require a camber kit with a mild drop like an inch to inch and a half?

    You shouldn't need a camber kit with a mild drop. As for the prodrive springs, they provide a nice mild drop, and greatly improve the handling.

    Make sure to get a good alignment after you swap springs. I would highly recommend going to Gran Turismo East, as they do a great job.

    If you want help swapping springs and get them in time, come to install day!

    Hopefully not for long! I'm looking into the Espelir Active GT springs which are a good bit stiffer than the Prodrives.

    A performance alignment from SoG is $150 or so. Also, Gran Turismo performs any aligment for something like $100. You will not need camber/caster plates or eccentric bolts with your car lowered unless you would prefer to exceed alignment specs (which are quite low surprisingly on the WRX). Oh, why not get the H-techs instead of the S-techs, at least those are designed for handling.

    Good luck!

    I like my Eibach prokit springs. The handling is definitely improved. The drop is nice as well, but there is still more gap in the front than in the rear. Not that big of a deal if you can fill them up with a nice wide wheel and tire. I am definitely looking into some struts, because for autox the springs weren't enough. There is still some body roll. You can definitely notice the negative camber in the rear with them, but I am looking to dial that out at my next alignment. Here is some pictures of my car at subydude: http://www.subydude.com/gallery/_detail.php?pic=1060&PHPSESSID=e888db5c782d0fcb2d5399be22f06eca

    Usually my final bill at GT is $85 for an alignment, but maybe that's because i bring them donuts ;).

    I wonder if the same concept would work at SOG, only in the form of Chipotle :naughty:

    There is a place in Seneca, Checker Lube. They charge 60 for a custom alignment.
