newb question..
how do i reinstall the stock 05 sti suspension? its alot longer than the coilovers i have and i cant get them to fit. do i need a spring compressor or take off some more stuff?

 

Are the springs separated from the struts? If not, no spring compressor needed. They fit, just a little tough sometimes.

 

Just undo the front and rear end links and push down. They will fit. Just gotta use a little more effort.

 

I suggest removing both front or both rear coilovers before installing the stock suspension. The shorter body of the coilovers made it nearly impossible to get the stock suspension in. That should give enough slack to install the stock suspension.

 

agree with krazykid, remove both sides and the arms will drop low enough for the stock stuff to go back on.
