My buddy has the GF210'a on his 04 and I have the RCE's on my 05...I'd def go with the RCE's over the gf's. The gruppe-n's are a nice addition too. How long until you get coilovers thou? Your money might be better off going into brake mods or further suspension mods in the meantime imo

My suggestion regarding this *because you will be going coilovers* is get the sways and get an alignment. Save the money for the coilovers.


You'll love the way the car handles...you just won't see the drop.

Also consider that lowering the vehicle will reduce your travel on the stock struts, reducing your daily comfort.


Kind Regards,
Ryan

thanks for some good feedbacks...
for the coil-over, not soon at all.... that's why i just want 2 do the springs.
and i really dont care about daily comfort, b/c rite now im runin on Tein S-Tech, which is SHI@^%#^TY as spring i know and its so bumpy!!!

but they said 05 version of GF210 is much different and better then 04 spring.
and Tanabe just released the new 05-06 STi version spring.

If this is the case, RCE Yellows. I had them *have RCE T2s now* and loved them.


Good Luck!

Not necessarily a good thing, especially when it comes to suspension.
