Cobb's
Anybody here running Cobb Tuning Sport Springs? If so, how do you like them? I'm looking for a set of springs for my '04 STi, but trying to find something with an even drop. Seen a lot of pics of different set ups, but the Cobb's look to be the most even. I'm a little concerned about the drop being a little extreme, though. Any other feedback?

Prodrives...
the best springs for stance/drop/handling IMHO...coilovers otherwise...nice all around spring...
Not much of a drop though, but enough that you will know the car is dropped...you won't be scraping much with that setup...nice.

get the megan racing coilovers. there cheap and good for street use. plus you can adjust them to the height you want. otherwise you are going to have a hard time finding something that suits your personal preference in a drop spring. check out the espelier and rs-r springs. they are also good springs.

They are huge in Japan and supply springs to many racers as well. They are lighter then most (less coils) saving at least 1 lb per corner in unsprung weight (the same as loosing 80lbs on the vehicle).
They are a perfect drop (and if you have tons of stereo equipment in the back of your STI sedan ~ you can use the wagon specific to lift your sagging butt).
Coupled with KYB shocks (GR-2's or AGX) they are awesome...

Here is the drop on my wagon ~

Well, I finally decided to go ahead and try the Cobb's. They should be arriving here today or tomorrow. Not sure when I'll get a chance to put them in, but I'll post pics later. Shoots

Pic's R up
I must say that I'm pretty happy with the ride so far. Pretty smooth, and a bit less harsh than stock. Also, the drop seems to be pretty even front to back.

Sweet, Brandon.
It's noticeable but subtle
