just finished the wagon..

and it looks and feels amazing! picked up some used spt sti coilovers off a guy who sold his sti for a truck :/ but i came up on a great deal via craigslist. i have a whiteline rear sway (mandatory on wags) adn now these coilovers top it off, they are not dampening adj, however they ride perfect, preload is perfect even all the way slammed in the fronts, no bump-stoppage so far and ive raped them pretty hard already on some on/off ramps, i cant wait for a track day at thunderhill!!

here they are, kinda dirty, ill update with a pic of the car tomorrow when its sunny out.

mostly the right rear, it kind of pops if im turning somewhat sharp going slow, the fronts creak and slightly pop, i just cant get my mind off it being the springs, and i never would have bought these if i knew they did this! i thought SPT coilovers would be the **** :/
