I'm pretty sure that the Prodrive spring are rebadged spring of one of the popular brands. I can't recall exactly but most likey you can get the same springs without the Prodrive name for a bit less. Prodrive doesn't actually develop many of the products they sell. For example the Prodrive WRSport muffler is available under the Scorpion name which sells for $100-200 less. I also know that they resell the Delta Dash under their own name with a crazy mark-up.

I own some Prodrive products that I'm perfectly happy with and they seem to be a great company but you should look into things before you overpay for something soley based on marketing.

I'm very satisfied with my Prodrives. These are perfect for everyday driving. Should have come stock from the factory with these springs.

Prodrive springs are made by Eibach, and wound to Prodrive's specific rates. They are the same springs used on the UK300 WRX and lower the car approx. 1"

Everyone that I know who uses these springs raves about the supurb ride quality and handling.

Eventually these will be the springs that I put on the wagon.

If you want the Prodrive springs I have one set left.

It may be a while until I get more because Prodrive USA is out of stock.
