    try searching on iwsti.com if you haven't already. specifically http://www.iwsti.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=22

    Prodrives and JDM Pinks are the most respected for actual performance - pinks drop ~3/4" all around, prodrives are like 1/2" in front, even less in the back. There are others out there that drop more, but it sounds like going lower than the pinks doesn't really do you any favors in the handling department.

    I have the pinks, I think dream on here has the prodrives.

    Here, Here.... 500/500 (the car only weighs 2700#!) with the racing bucket is not a fun ride to St Cloud or Brainerd!

    i have a new set of tein ype "s" in the garage. they drop alot, but the spring rate is imo not stiff enough for the sti.

    that will teach me to order stuff after 4 beers...

    if you want they are yours for $199.
