STi pinks on an 06WRX

Has anyone installed the STi pink springs on an 06 WRX? I found a great deal on them and was just trying to see how everyone likes them.

Which pinks? SPT pinks (for a wrx) or JDM pinks (for STi)? If you got the JDM, you'd best get some struts to go with them.

One of my friends has a 05 WRX with SPT pinks and he says he
loves the SPT pink springs.Also he says his handling is much improved.

Thumbs up

I have seen the SPT pinks on WRX's in person and in pics.
I think sometime in the future I will be installing them on my
04 WRX.I like the stance they give and the look is just awesome!

I am saving for megan racing coilovers...I don't recommend getting springs without propper struts to match. And at that point, why not get the megans? They wouldn't be much more, and they are adjustable even up to stock ride height if you wanted.

coils are pretty bumpy though even at lowest stiffness. and if you use the car as a daily driver and hit up the mountains on the weekends and such youll screech the turns on every little bump. shocks struts and sways are perfect set up for the mtns and daily driving considerind the crap on the streets. they absorb more bumps for optimal traction and the sways allow least body roll with the strut/spring set up. you either wand stiff body with absorbing shocks or stiff shocks with a little more body roll/weight transfer(most drift apps.)
