Cool Just installed Tien Stech Springs on 06 wrx

suspension is great, feel just like stock but about 2 inches drop..pretty nice.

just a little problem, it did come with the rubber (to prevent from making noise) im hearing this knockin sound..i guess the spring are hitting each other?

ANYBODY experience this before? pls help

for my 02, I had to cut the rubber bump stop...did you do this? It could cause some rubbing maybe making a noise.

Eeeek, why'd you pick the s-techs? They have a horrible rep for being way too low for our cars...

If you did not tighten the strut into the hat it will knock every time you hit a bump

I just installed s-techs on my 05, and it feels great, not to low, i would like to go lower. I sometimes hear a little squeak, its most likely due to the stock struts.
