Thoughts on STi Pinks

I know a couple of you guys have had these springs on your car. What are your thoughts and comparisons versus other springs. I'm not looking for a huge drop, but do want to lose some of the wheel gap and a handling increase.

Do you have a wagon or sedan?

I had the JDM STI Pink springs on my sedan and they were awesome. A decent drop (though not a bunch) and excellent ride and handling.

Now I have the USDM STI Pink springs on my wagon. I went with these because there is no (at least that I could find) JDM wagon fitment in the pink springs. I'm really happy with them on my wagon though . They're softer and a little taller than were the JDM pinks.

The benefit to going with the STI parts is that the fitment and quality is OEM. The springs are a bit more expensive than others, but well worth the cost.

Thanks for the link, but based on that price those must be the USDM springs.

They are. And that's where I got my wagon springs from. For the JDM springs, you can get them from Gruppe-S (www.gruppe-s.com)

The fronts look taller because the springs are an even 1in. drop for both the fronts and the rears. If you look at your car you'll notice that the front wheelwell's top highest point is already higher than the rear's highest point.

Some aftermarket springs lower the front more than the back to get the even look.
