Tien springs on an 04 sti?
I would like to hear opinions from anyone who has tien spring sets on their sube. I already got a turbo back and engine management and am looking for springs

I have teins on a wrx. Teins are soft. Most STI guys don't reccomend them. The STI pinks with group n tophats are the way to go with STI struts. I have driven an STI with pinks and tophats and they are awsome! Tight, no bouncies! www.racecompengineering.com sells the pinks and tophats as a package. Be sure if you look at pinks you are getting real JDM pinks and not the SPT catalog "Pinks", which are really eibachs painted pink for SOA to resell. Racecomp has the real stuff.

A friend of mine has it on his 05 sti; he complains that although it looks nice, it is noticeably softer then stock and is not as responsive. "The body roll sucks worse then stock", he says. 
The ride quality is pretty good though, positive side of a soft spring. But it does show how overdamped his suspension is now with the softer springs, as even stock the STi is overdamped. IMHO from what it appears, the S-Tech is a step down performance-wise for the STi, but does what it was designed for, comfort + visual appeal.

I helped A friend put Tein's sprong's on his 2005 STI It looks and handls great. Very good spring and you get what you pay for. The only thing I could tell you is when you get the springs also get A rear and front sway bar also. It will help the body roll and hard conering.
