Many folks will tell you the s. techs suck... they are too low to work with our cars. STi pinks are a lot better choice, but they are a bit too stiff for the stock wrx struts, so you will wear them out pretty quick. best to pair them with some inserts or the stock sti strut.

...the AGX's warranty is ONLY good if you do not excede -1.5" below stock and trying to get new ones may be problematic.'
I had the AGX's on my '02 and they were a BIG step above the stock struts....but I bought the Tokico d-spec's for my '06......used the same springs and tops as with the AGX's....and I like the Tokico's better....they are MUCH more 'comfortable' and should prove to be capable of better overall handling if paired with the right springs.
I will almost certainly get some Ground Control's to try and find the limits of the d-spec's.
