I was considering the STi springs for just a slight drop, but would like to hear some recommendations.
The Eibach and H&R would also be about half the price of the STi springs.
For DD/track/autox I run RCE Yellow springs (RCE Tarmac are the same drop but slightly stiffer) mated with Koni Yellow insert shocks. They are amazing. Ride quality similar to stock but even better handling and feel. Plus the rebound is adjustable for a more aggressive setup. Since I didn't care about height adjustability (coilovers) I just picked a height (.8"-1") and shock. Less than $1k for both.

Previously I have Eibach Prokit springs on stock shocks and while I liked the look, I didn't think it rode as well as stock. Eibach Sportlines were worse. Same goes for H&R sport vs supersport. To make the suspension better lots of stuff needs to be purchased at once and then needs calibrating, but the suspension is already very good and part of me wishes I would have just bought a supercharger and wheels and called it a day. That comment was from a $ standpoint as I love my car and everything I have on it, just not the $ I could have used on other things.

The only thing the car is really lacking is power, which is the easiest thing to add so do that and call it good got a while.
