Help. I want stock ride with 1" lower
...but I don't want to do the stock struts with lowering springs due to the wear issues. I love being able to blow over poles at 60 mph but want slightly more aggressive looking without tearing up the bottom of my car on every speed bump.

You can try the Whiteline Control springs (15-40mm drop), and from what I understand they work well with stock struts in terms of wear.

I belive prodrive would be your best choice as stated above. They wont kill your ride (they are stock equipment on the UK spec STi's) wont lower it too much, adn they look great.

s.g.d
Prodrive will actually give you a nicer drop and a better ride. SPT is stiffer and does not lower the car noticeably

I'm inclined to recommend Espelir. Cheaper than Prodrive, but just as good!

It depends on which model year the springs are for, not the brand of springs. The '04 rear strut tops are different than the '02-'03s. If you want to put springs for an '02 on an '04, then you also need the strut mounts from an '02.
