Well it's actually not a myth. The H&R springs really do lower your car 1.8in. But they only do this when you use the springs in combination with the STOCK struts. This is because the lowering of the car puts more stress on the strut than it was desinged to handle. This is the reason that I broke my left front sturt and then decided to replace with KYB AGX. However, with the KYB AGX you will only get a drop of about 1in. which is perfect! With the Stock struts the car rolled very hard in tight agressive handling moves and just didn't seem to hook up and on top of that I had to deal with scraping my exhuast on EVERYTHING. The only plus side was that the car look really cool and had the perfect stance with the STOCK rims.
Now with the AGX I get much better turn in hardly any body roll, I don't scrap anyore and the car feals much stiffer. Oh and by the way if you can stand the noise pick up the Cusco mounts otherwise get the STi but do anything to get ride of the stock ones.
I hope this helps
