Default Cobb Springs
Hey everyone, I have a 2004 WRX with a turboback exhaust, brakes, and other little mods. What kind of springs do you guys think are the best, Cobb, Tein?

depends oh what you want to do with the car. They have different spring rates for different kind of performance. Cobb seems to be nice for the weekend warrior and daily driver.

I had cobb went to RCEs. I'm happier with them. They're more performance oriented.

As far as looks, the Cobbs do lower a very small amount more in the front. The backs look about the same
