Hmmm...not sure if the difference on mine is the around the same or not. I am a little bothered by it too, but after a year, I haven't seen any other changes aside from my camber in the rear but that's another issue.

Arrow Re: STi pink spring installation procedure and pictures!

What about trimming of bump stops?

I remember seeing in another thread that users cut the bump stops...

When you say "clunking", that sounds like a strut problem, rather than a spring problem.

Endlinks? My stock endlinks make a loud clunk whenever I went unevenly over a bump or even on slow turns onto the driveway and so forth. Kartboy endlinks took away the noise.

question:
If you lower your ride height do you need to buy top camber plates? or can the stock camber bolts adjust for the lower springs?
If top camber plates are required would i only need them for the front or back or both?

I'd hate to buy some springs and go through a set of tires in 5,000 miles

I lowered my car with RCE yellows (lower than the pinks), and the MOST camber I could get out of the front was still -1 degree with the bolts maxed out. Camber wont' be an issue with the pinks, unless the problem is that you can't get enough negative camber. If you want to go MORE negative, like -2, you will need camber plates.

Either way, after putting them on, pay to have a performance alignment done to the car.
