I found a set of wrx tein s-tech springs with 4 struts on ebay for 40 dollars. Finally got around to installing them the day before yesterday. They are definately quite a bit harder than the stock springs and I feel a lot more of the road which makes going up and down my driveway bonejarring. They dropped the car a bit but not horribly. Testing them out in the canyon where I live at 1am I passed a sheriff going the other way. Anyway, they helped the handling a lot and the car is able to maintain a higher speed through the corners. Definately worth the 40 dollars.
Here is an old one, I finally got around to installing a 3" intake in place of the 2.5". I'll probably have more pictures when i'm done fabricating the parts i need to put the wrx heads on my car.
