It a bit hard for me to compare handling differences between standard and STI springs as I have had the STI springs since new. Only time I have driven a standard one was on three short test drives 4 months before my car arrived.

To be honest they don't seem to be any harsher ride wise than the standard springs, they are 15mm lower and I did not get the front lip spoiler, have not scraped it yet but pretty careful with driveways.

Don't know how guys cope with 25mm or more drop and a lip spoiler.

Our roads are not very good over here but seems fine to me

I have had 4 people in the car 2 adults 2 kids on occasions (detached kids legs and stored in boot) one 65kg and the other 50kg, seems to cope fine.

Easiest way to get a rough estimate on yen pricing is to cut off the last two digits.

50,000 yen = roughly $500.00. The dollar is actually slightly stronger than the yen right now.

Yeah they kept bleating something about there was no room for legs and feet in the back so solved the problem, fitted quarter turn fasteners so detaching/attaching quick and painless now first time their was a bit of protest just gave 'em a bit of wood to bite on and a slug of burbon

Can only speak for myself

1. STI springs were available as factory option ie keep warantee

2. Wanted a car for use as daily driver so 15mm drop was enough for me most other options were 25mm or more unless you went for coilovers ie adjustable

3. figured the people at STI had probably done their homework and they would enhance cars handling without other unforseen dramas.
