Please help me Decide, Pinks or Espelir
ok here we go, i have just installed 04 s techs on my 05 sti about 2 days ago, ignoring warnings about how soft it is. i already wanna get rid of them. i feel so stupid. My stock springs felt soo much stiffer. i need help deciding between pinks or espelir. could you guys tell me your experiences with these springs?? Stiffness, ride, drivability and anything else i need to know... i searched around and havent found much about the espelir. also will my sti struts handle the espelir?
thanks!!
BTW FS: 04 tein S techs, lol

well, what do you want? looks or performance? s techs or style tech is strictly for show, now that i realize how soft it really is. h tech is for luxury, probably will also be soft. i should have taken everyones advice on this, which was to wait til i had money to buy what i really wanted. i wanted s techs to drop my car temporarily, but its so crappy, i cant live with it. i really miss the stiffness my stock springs had.
can any one post pics of sti pinks and espelir springs, id like to compare them..

sell the s techs, put your stock springs back on, and save up for some coilovers. if you gonna get springs get the espelir springs. i have no idea how good they are but i have their exhaust and love it. either way live and learn. L8R

i read that the espelir is stiffer than pinks, and lowers the front a bit more. this all specs tho... not from actual owners

Honestly, I never recommend S-Techs for someone looking for performance. They're strictly dress-up springs. Espelir offers a much better performance spring than TEIN's S-TECH, no matter what car.
We installed a set of S-TECHs on a friend's EVO, and it made the car outright dangerous to drive hard.
