    I did a search for this but nothing came up. I've been searching for a set of prodrive springs but I can't find them. Are they suddenly discontinued? I searched all of the sites that I thought carried them, yet can't seem to find them anywhere. Am I looking in the wrong place? I could have sworn that rallysportdirect.com had them, but I can't find them on the site. Sorry if this has been posted before but the time has finally come for new springs struts and now I can't find them. :ugh:

    Edit: This is for an '03 WRX

    They are likely made still, but Prodrive has pulled out of the US for now.

    I just put on a set of Crucial Racing springs, which are supposed to be very similar to Prodrives. They're phenomenal.

    Well after much research, I took your advice and ordered a set of these. There is a group buy on Nasioc that I got into at the last minute and since I was the 30th person the price dropped to 225 shipped! Can't wait to try them out, thanks for the reference!

    Are crucial racing springs a decent choice to run with stock struts? As of lately I've been leaning more towards the Swifts...but options are always good

    They give a very similar drop to prodrives. They have fairly high spring rates, but are progressive, so drive very nicely on a DD.

    EDIT; here's the NASIOC review thread on them.
