I'm getting the V-Limited lip soon and I'm glad I chose the Pinks! I'd be scraping the crap out of it otherwise-probably still will, hehe.

You'll scrape it

Be extra careful on those steep ramps... at least mine scrapes ...

I am also thinking of getting the STi pink springs on mine. The main reason for me changing the springs is to lower the car a little bit, I can't stand the ugly wheel gap in the front. My main concern is that after I lower it there might be some other problems with the suspensionm, such as noise (like a clunking) I have experienced this with Eibachs on a Honda Prelude. Have you expierenced any side-affects after installing the pinks.

Also besides the springs do you have to change any other suspension components such as the struts, will the stock struts be able to handle the pinks.

thx :wink:

I just ordered my pinks for 04 sti and Goodrich brake lines. What do u think is the biggest change in driving? I auto x so what is going to be different or what should i do or not do with new springs as oppsoed to stock ones??? I am keeping all stock struts and tops is this ok for now..I was told it was ok. I need some advice help me out...Do u like it better overall about an inch lower...what is the handling like?

Rev · 02-21-2005, 01:06 PM

Handling is improved like a night and day difference. You'd be surprised and say "why didn't the STi come stock with these springs?"

JimD · 02-21-2005, 03:59 PM

do u have the hardened strut tops as well....is Myles from racecompengineering the best guy to get these? Where did you get yours

Rev · 02-21-2005, 04:04 PM

I got them from Myles, maybe he has them on stock.

Get both the hardened mounts and the pink springs.

Get them quick because they sell like hot pancakes or something

I ordered mine from Anthony at Mauromotorsports. Very good guy to deal with and he's currently offering free shipping. There might be a wait time though. Mine will arrive in about a week. I ordered strut tops from Rallispec. From comparison shopping, they have the lowest price.
