Default Springs

From your experiences, what are a good set of springs for the WRX? Don't want to ghetto slam it or anything, just lower it some....don't want a terrible ride either. LMK.

I recommend the Progress springs for the Wrx. It is made for you stock struts so don't worry about it. I actually think my ride quality has went up . They lower the car 1.8infront 1.5inback.

How much did it lower yours? I'm looking for around 1.5 inches, up to a max of like 2 inches.

I have H&R springs and they ride great on 80K mile stock struts, I can only imagine what they felt like when the car was new

For stock shock absorbers, I've heard repeated good comments over 3 years about the Eibach Pro Kit.

I have the Prodrive set, but not stock shocks. They're probably not low enough for what you are considering.

Prodrives. I've had them for two years and work great with stock WRX shocks.
