there is a very noticeable performance/handling gain from the stocks to the yellows. the car really feels attached to the road.

I love mine! You will want sways afterwards, if you don't already have them, so you can corner like it's on rails.

stidriver31 · 03-10-2008, 07:21 PM

SO the yellows are worth the money?

they're not a fit all spring...you really need to ride in a car with them to figure out if they're for you. people will sit here and say they're the best spring ever and others will say they're not for them. i had them and sold them 7 months later because they were too harsh for me. If I was able to have taken a test drive in different cars with the springs I was considering, I wouldn't have chosen the RCE's in the beginning.

It really depends upon your driving style. If you are an aggressive driver you will probably like them. I have had several sports cars that had firm suspensions so that is what I'm accustomed to and I like to feel the road somewhat. I got mine for $329 shipped at Scoobytuner but they raised the price to $339 so now its the same as GTWORX with the $25 shipping since they are $314.

Jr24dawg · 03-10-2008, 08:19 PM

how do they compare to an sti thats on coilovers as far as harshness goes???? based on looking at the spring rates of yellows and most stiff a$$ coilovers, I would assume the yellows are much more comfortable.. especially since they are progressive..???... am i right???

fengrr · 03-10-2008, 11:42 PM

So, how do they handle compared to the stock springs on the stock struts. I want to know from people with autox and other experience, not just DD.

My previous car had coilovers.

I agree completly. The ride quality is very harsh. Great for the track or perfectly smooth roads, bad for DD.

helifreak · 03-12-2008, 03:03 PM

I don't think that they feel that harsh compared to stock for my DD and the roads here in Dallas are not that great either. I love them!

**Parker** · 03-12-2008, 03:15 PM

having my stock springs back on, I can definitely tell the difference in ride comfort. handling isn't as great but comfort definitely is.

A Lil Loco! · 03-12-2008, 04:40 PM

Ouch i dont wanna regret having the everyday comfort!!

helifreak · 03-12-2008, 08:26 PM

IMO the stock springs were too bouncy but the RCE Yellows seem to absorb and smooth out the the smaller bumps, but the larger one's feel like you hit a pothole, ha ha, but it's not any worse than a vette.

Comfort is relative and, IMO, overrated
