IMHO, if you're going to replace a WRP10s springs with even lower springs, you should aim for a 50mm drop as opposed to a 30mm drop.

The tiny height drop over the stock springs isn't worth the money or effort, as the WRP10 springs are already upgraded over the standard WRX items, and replacing them with aftermarket springs (I'm assuming Kings or Lovells), wont give you that much of a handling upgrade, nor a drop in height if you go with the 30mm lowered springs.

Seriously why bother.
In all likelyhood your going to be chopping the upgraded good springs on the WRP10. Now thats a waste of $$$ if your going down that route.

Take em off and sell them instead of chopping.

Then upgrading to the inferior Kings or Lovells as Balistc said your handling is going to get worse. If your doing it for looks fair enough, put up with the crap ride.

Lower does not always equal better in regards to handling.

Spot on.

Take a look at some Jap springs... Tein S-Techs go nice and low, and they are a quality spring. Eibach's are another alternative.

If you're going to go with an Aussie spring, try Whitelines.
