Just got a set of Espelir Active Super Down springs tucked into my 03 WRX Wagon, and man what a diffrence. The car rides much better than I had hoped. I'm still using the stock struts with no problems with the car being "bouncy" like some other imports are with stiffer springs. I got about a 1.5" drop in front and 1" in the rear. As far as the bumps go I'd say the car rides better than stock, not softer but more assure. Also body roll really is well controlled, give you that stuck to the gorund feeling. Next thing to check for is sagging in a few months to see if they "settle" at all and if they do so evenly. Mad props to World one Performance (.com) for hooking me up at a awsome price! If you're looking fo rjust a set of springs liek the Prodrive or Perrin, check out the Espelir set, they are worth every penny! Pictures coming soon!

I've been looking at these for my 02 wagon.......
Where are you located?
I'm in NYC and I've had lowered suspensions on my Honda so I'm wondering how the ASD's are on "inconsistent" roads
Waiting to see those pics.....:D

I'm living in the Seattle area right now. Don't have to deal with much with potholes and large cracks since it doesn't freeze much here. We do have rough textured roads to provide better traction during the wet winters. I'm sure you'll feel the bumps more but I can't give you honest opinion from my location. Oh and order them from worldoneperformance.com they have THE best prices shipped than anyone else I've seen. I'll get some pistures up when NASIOC allows me to post them, guess I'm to new for it still.
