    Is there are any real difference between them? Just wondering since eibach makes the springs for prodrive.

    Prodrive Springs = best combination of performance, balance, and everyday drivability. Slightly lowers the vehicle for a "just right" look and feel.

    They should be a first mod no questions. Not too harsh, and not soft. No regrets.

    Do the eibachs offer a lower stance then the prodrives?

    Eibach is one of the biggest spring manufacturers on the planet. They make a bazillion different kinds of springs for a ton of different companies. The house branded "eibach pro kit" is what most people are referring to when they ask about eibach springs. They're progressive, pretty soft but very comfortable for street use, but not the best performance oriented springs. They don't kill the stock struts either.

    Are you getting the red or blue spring? My brother have them on his GC (over stock struts) and he love them.


    But Overall I think prodrives will be your best choice (it might cost a little more but well worth it.)

    Thanks for the info... I'm most likely getting prodrive springs. I know they have blue ones for 02-03... but I saw red ones for 04+ sti. Will they work for my car? And if so do I need to get 04 hats or 02 hats?

    From all the reviews I have read I going to get a set of Prodrive springs. Now its time to decide blue or red. I belive the red ones are stiffer then blues.... right? Since I drive the car everyday... the blue ones should be the better option for me....

    Way to many options..............

    I help put a set of blue prodrive springs on ihaveawrxs old wrx. he really liked them, just enough drop so you dont need a spring compressor to put them in too.
