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.

I agree. I had the JDM Pinks on my '03 sedan for about 25,000 miles and they were excellent. I really enjoyed them. Gruppe-S has a killer price on them right now.

...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.
