sti springs

I am looking at lowering my rex, don't want to spend a big hunk of cash...also worried about warranty issues

Anyways, is anybody running STi springs on stock struts? I believe they lower the car about 1 inch and the customer service guy at Subaru of Canada said that STi stuff won't void my warrany. Just wondering if anybody has any complaints with this setup. If you don't have this setup I would still like to hear any problems I might face

I would go with either those or Eibach if you aren't going to get struts too. Pro-kit that is, not the sportlines.

I do believe that Eibach DOES make the STi springs, and I have heard nothing but good things about them. I will be buying them soon for my '03 RS and the main reason I am doing this is cause of warrenty. Of course the dealship wants 800 to install it themselves which is NUTS....I will try the install myself without shooting a spring through my chest.

Good luck!

Eibach does make the SPT springs, but the ProKit and Sportline Eibachs are different heights and rates. Actually Eibach makes probably half of all aftermarket springs. Either way, you don't get a warranty with SPT stuff. Sucks.
Just be sure to get a spring compressor from Kragen or whatever for the install.
