They don't get enough love. I feel they are also misunderstood. They are positively, not just "slightly", better ride quality than stock for a daily driven car. They aren't just good AutoX coilovers.

Thanks guys!

I need to clean up a few things as the forum has learned so much in the past year or two now that may change some details here and there in my breakdown. Nothing too serious though, so no worries.

Thanks Twisties for all the work. As noted above it is of great help to less experienced drivers like myself. You probably saved me a couple thousand dollars off an estimate a local tuner gave me for a complete suspension upgrade. According to this forum he wasn't trying to cheat me, just bid all top end parts which a driver of my caliber isn't ready for. Thanks again.

Thanks, TWISTIES. This will really help out. I was lookin into the COBB Stage 2 suspension package, but this just convinced me to do more research in the subject.

hey guys. im currently considering buying the titanium JDM sti strut bar. It's ~500 new, but i have a seller for 250$. seems kinda expensive, considering that the cusco one (non-titanium) is 150$. anything special about titanium strut bars (or this STi one in particular) that i don't know (besides less weight), or is it just "bling" in comparison to the regular steel ones?

thanks,
-alex

I have a question that I don't think was mentioned at all.

Is there anything available to make an STi higher than stock? I see all drop springs, but nothing to raise the height.
It's an 07 STi. What can I lift it with?
