The reason I say this is that I can't see any warranty issue these struts springs will generate. They are completely bolt on in every aspect. They have nothing to do with the motor, trans, or diff. The three major components. If I were you I'd keep the stock struts/springs to put on incase you decide not to buy out your lease, then sell the RB struts/springs.

It's your choice of course. This is just my opinion.

Your car would be a mirror image of the RB320 if you were to do it
I am not worried about voiding my warranty or anything like that. I have done a good amount of power/ suspension modifications already. This just seems like a pretty big job to do just to have to return it to stock later on. Although it wouldn't be for another 2.5 years until I had to return it to stock.

I love the way it makes the car sit and the feedback on the ride quality.

meh, after the first time it really isn't that bad of a job. Some guys swap back to stock just for winter to keep them from being exposed to salt/sand/etc. I'm considering it with my Ohlins.

You'll be waiting a loooong time.
Any info on your track day with the prodrives ?

How does this compare to a stock struts/sti pinks/group N strut mounts setup?

Nope. Unfortunately Prodrive America opted out of the three way adjustable struts that came on the UK RB320 Impreza.
