Hmm, never heard of COBB that I can think of, although the name sounds familiar!

It seems the springs are intended for the Mazdaspeed3. So on other cars it would be muuuuch stiffer than stock because it says its stiffer than the stock MS3 setup. Plus on a sedan it probably only lowers like 3/4"

This looks promising though:
Spring rates are approximately +15% for the front and +25% for the rear over stock which, results in a sporty feel without being unnecessarily harsh or bouncy. The factory springs are actually too soft for the stock struts, much less uprated aftermarket replacements, to work optimally. Our final spring rates are the result of extensive real-world and road course testing.

COBB is a very well respected company. Browse a Subaru board and thats where you'll see a lot of their stuff.. turbo upgrades, etc :) Price looks decent too!

You think they would tell you the actual spring rates...unless they don't know, they buy them off another company and just paint them Blue...
..in a unique process??.. how unique can powdercoating be??

Sounds like another company that touts *plastic parts* that don't rust...

How many of you go to the track anyway?
