STi Genome Suspension

I bought these springs and struts about two years ago used from some guy on ClubWRX/eBay. They were in really good shape when I bought them, and looked like they were hardly used, so I'd say they had about 10-15k miles on them. I personally put about 50k miles on them, so you can do the math. There's a little bit more chipped paint on the struts now than there was when I bought them, but overall they seem to be fine. They make a little bit of noise, but only on REALLY bumpy dirt roads, and I think it's pretty normal. It's not loud, and they aren't leaking at all, so I don't forsee any problems with them in the near future. The springs will lower your car a little, but it won't be unbearably low (as you can see from the attached photo), and the ride is less harsh than a stock STi. The handling is great and you'll be one of the only people in the country with this suspension. Everyone will envy you, and women will flock to your car.

I'm asking $375 OBO. I'm in Colorado right now, but I'll be back in CA around March 10th so they'll be available around then unless you're willing to pay shipping.

Also, if anyone has any STi Group N tophats and/or Noltec camber plates, I'd be willing to trade or purchase them from you.

I have absolutely no idea, but I'm pretty sure they're softer than the USDM STi springs.

I got them in the beginning of December, or maybe it was the end of November. I only had them on for maybe two weeks before I had to put my snow rims and tires on.

Look at the paint dots on the springs if you tell me what color they are I might be able to give you the spring rates.

Super

Super
I'm out of town right now, but I'll post pictures of the suspension and the dots as soon as I can.

Thanks lin_tp2, I'll know who to suspect if they go up missing.

Sorry this took so long. Here are pics, finally.






Incase it isn't clear from the pictures, the front paint dots are pink on top, and two white on bottom. The rears are orange on top and one white on bottom.

Bump for a nice suspension. Too bad I just bought my Tanabe coilovers, or I would have picked these up
