    Does anybody have Cobb springs on a WRX? My car currently clears my garage by only a few inches. I want to see if anybody would come by my garage in Uptown to check the fit if I were to lower my car a couple inches.
    I'm thinking the Cobb springs because I know I can trust their products, but does anybody have any other recommendations?

    Iirc Cobb springs lower the car quite a bit. Looks nice but not the greatest for handling. What struts?

    I've got stock WRX suspension now. Will I need new struts with new springs? I would like to acheive both a nice look and handling. Though I don't want to spend a fortune.

    Ive got them on my Sti. Id say they sit alright in the front, not gangsta low(i can still clear most steep dirveways). The back is a different story lets say two grown men and i'll be rubbing.

    I honestly believe springs are never really going to help with handling, unless well mated to a shock. So everybody who says this and that about how they're spring is "optimized for the best handling" of your car is selling you the same line the engine performance companies are selling you.
