No, they are all the same springs nothing has changed as fas as I know.

Thought the bumpstops had changed at some point.

I have ordered a set of these for my 2013 (just got some 2017 springs/sachs). along with some SPC lower control arms. The sachs dampers are quite comfy compared to the 2013 showas but i miss the more buttoned down feel of the 2013 springs lol. figured i'd try something new.

Are you not keeping your STI Pink springs? If you're not would love to hear comparisons between the Pink and RCE Yellows.

I'm not sure what ill do with them. I haven't seen sti pink springs without sti logo plastered all over them so I have a feeling they are some oddball springs. They also raised my ride height a bit over my (i assume stock... it is a used car though) 2013 springs.


I really wanted the set for the sachs dampers rather than the springs. They are so much better than the 2013 showas although you do lose a bit of "turn-in" due to the overdamped 2013s. Although my factory alignment had a bit of toe out rather than zero toe, so it could have been that too. I might ask them to dial out some toe for me again because I enjoy that twitchy steering feel.

Yea thats really odd that it raised the height, but yea i guess its a good deal if you got the Sachs dampers. You know its possible the pink springs had the "STI" logo rubbed off depending how long the previous had them for
