TEIN Springs for WRX FLEX coilovers (Higher Spring Rate)

I have brand new springs for the TEIN FLEX coilovers for a WRX for sale.

The spring rates on FLEX coilovers for the WRX 'Before 2004' were 5kg/5kg front & rear respectively.
These springs are 7kg/6kg front & rear respectively. So you get a 'firmer' ride, better handling, etc. without loading down your springs.

$100


(The new WRX FLEX coilovers come with 10kg/8kg springs, so if you wanted a softer ride sometimes, these would also be good)

If you don't get any buyers in the near future I may consider picking them up I think STIs would definitely benefit from a slightly higher spring rate.

Are these only for the Tein Flex? I want them if they are for regular STi or WRX struts.

I don't think they will fit a standard strut. BUT they will fit on other coilovers.

they have a 70mm inner diameter, and are 175mm long (unloaded).

and yes, $100, ... I need money quick!

I'd be interested,

but wonder how easily my EDFC motors will come off of the shocks. If there was some help doing this (mini-install) I'd be down for this whenever. Let me know Sean. I think the rears at 5K are already stiff enough, but would like the 7K front to keep from compressing them as much.

I think the EDFC motors wouldn't be hard to get off. btw, did I ever fix that wire? Or was that Pat's that I didn't fix?
I don't know when I could help install them now, I am busy with too many different things. It actually shouldn't take too long, maybe we could do it in the shop on a Sunday or something.

Yeah,

you fixed my wire with an extra motor Farid had. If you need the money I could pay for them on the 15th and we can install them when you get a chance. I'm in no huge hurry.
