It depends on what you're going for. If you want a nice little drop and a comfortable, quality ride, then go with the perrin. If you want to be low where the wheel well is right on top of the wheels, then go with the tein s-tech. But when you get the s-tech, you would probably need to change out the struts a lot sooner.

I have the S. Techs but am unsatisfied with them. The car looks great, but the ride quality is crap and they don't handle any better than stock. I don't know what the Perrins are like but I assume they are better than the S. Techs. If I was going to get new springs I would go with STI pinks.

Well, I think its better if u for perrin becuz I hve the s-tech in my o4 wrx it looks good and handles okay. Perrin and s-tech have the same price if ur juss going to replce juss ur springs go wif peerin but if ur willing to change ur strut as will go wif the s-tech.

Prodrive...

I vote Prodrive springs...

1. Sti Stock
2. Espelir ASD
3. TEIN FLEX Coilover/EDFC
4. Prodrive STI Springs...


Out of the 4 I've owned...I prefer the Prodrives...perfect drop and stiffness...

I just got a set of used s-techs for really cheap. Im only keeping them on for a short amount of time just beacause they will wear out your shocks and i hope to be upgrading to something like the helix DNA series coilover or tein ss-p soon. id say perrin but prodrives are the best with the stock struts.

s-techs for style (its just made to look nice, not really a performer)

perrin for performance, (and imo style too)

Prodrives are always a good choice and you will be happy with them.

Im using the S-tech now. they look great but i tend to bounce all over the place. I have 2006 STI. IM changing to some type of coil over now. Im thinking about getting D2 Racing coil overs. Not many ppl have used them here, but my friend in Japan says they are good for street and light track use.
