Anyone have recommendations for mostly DD/Looking in to tracking?
I signed up for HPDE but also looking to do some autoX.
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.

You're welcome to drive my car. I would recommend driving/riding with @stockysnail 's car. I have also ridden in other cars using the RCE yellows and they are pretty much the best of the standard 1 inch drop springs.

If you want to go low, well that really limits your options and you will have to tolerate the stiff ride and lack of forgiveness that the low springs provide.

The Eibach sportlines are great for agressive driving, but for a relaxing enjoyable drive across town..... well.... relaxing enjoyable isnt how I would describe them.
