Not too much of a drop but stiffens it up a good amount. I think the drop is somewhat similar to what the RCE yellows are at, but not sure. I haven't been stock for quite a while but these are still a very comfortable ride, just gives the corners a little more love, and gets rid of some of the body roll . I was on stock struts when I was using these springs. Compared to what I am on now much different as I am on coilovers .

Might be a good step until I have funds for coils. Trying to get every bit of life out of my struts before replacement, and don't see the point in spending nearly a grand on springs, struts, Com Cs, when I can get half-way decent coils for $1200-1500. Plus, pillow ball mounts with camber plates would be nice

Whacha want for the STI wagon pinks?

You can get a ride with me in the first couple of runs, I will be running in the afternoon both days.

Thought I'd update this as y'all are quickly draining the funds - picked up an Invidia V3 DP, Exedy clutch and pressure plate, Exedy 12 lb flywheel, might have some springs before long, and hoping I can swing an exhaust soon too. Will be getting KSpeed to tune for stage 2.

And, will hopefully have my piss poor "factory spec" alignment worked out before October 2, going with 1.5* front, stock rear camber for now, 0* toe, 0* cross camber and toe.

Next up, sways, struts, camber bolts, Com Cs, install, another alignment, then power.
