People with JDM Pinks?

Was wondering if someone with JDM Pinks would meet up and let me check them out? Im intrested in getting a set, but want to check out the ride height and so forth first. Any help would be really great, thanks.

After reading and using search button, I am back to being confused. Eibach pro-kit seems to be the best for a daily driver while retaining the stock struts and not needing to replace the struts for awhile.

if you want to drop less then an inch, get the US STi pinks, or whiteline springs.
For a little more drop, get the prodrive springs. They are made to prodrive's specs by eibach.
For even more drop, get the eibach pro kit.
if you are crazy and like the slammed look, get TIEN S techs. It might be H techs but I am not sure, one is like a 2" drop, the other claims 1.5" or something.

Im looking for a little drop while keeping the stock struts and not having to swap them out for awhile.

A lot of people use prodrives, and I've only heard great reviews of them. I'm sure Leo can say they're terrific since he used to auto-x and kill with them.

I have the wagon specific pinks. LOVE 'EM I'm at SJSU central plant if you want to come check them out now. The pinks drop about 1" in the front, and 3/4" in the rear. levels it out nicely, takes out the saggy butt look. As handling goes. They are wonderful!!! They handle loading inputs very well through a broad degree of turn in. They stiffen the ride up nicely with stock struts. With after market struts, IMO there isn't a better non-coilover setup.
Late,
Jeff

it's S.Tech's that are the crazy drop. it's about a 2" drop in the front. a real pain in the butt. i got them as a gift. ride is still pretty soft, and there's still body roll. don't reccommend them. they look pretty mean though. so if that's all you need, then they're cool.

Tien S-techs drop the ride down way low and don't really offer much in terms of stiffness. The Sti pinks are rigid lil bastards but unlike ipozestu's butt sagging comment I beg to differ. I think the front end could go down about another 1/2-1/4 inch to even out the look of the car. Other than that I love em.
