Eh?
What is "properly" to them?
Toss on a set of JDM pinks (stiffer than USDM) some Group N hats, and Bob's your uncle. This is the route I'll be going eventually. A mild drop, a stiffer spring, and it's something the stock dampner is capable of handling.

yeah, the prodrive springs drop the regular wrx as much as the STi already is lowered... I wouldnt do much short of what bill is saying, thats a well set up, awesome car from the start!! Either buy some nasty 
coilovers, which get expensive, like HKS hipermaxII prob. close to 2k!!! You can go with JIC or with Tein coilovers, but i wouldnt waste my time with the tein springs at all... they are called s-tech cause all they do is increase "style" neat. they are useless, and ive been in a wrx that seems like it handles worse, not better than stock with those springs.. it bounced and hopped... garbage - no offense to those who own the springs, as i dont mean to offend, this is just my opinion..

Ive heard its hard to get the 05's to sit right b/c all the good springs only work well on the 04's...dunno if thats true, just what a few people have said
