These or koni yellow+rce yellows for a DD...

I just have mine installed and I am not sure if this is right. the shaft thread sticks out and can't use the rubber cover.

Mine are still holding up great. I do agree that we should all let ST know that their packing method is absolute crap, greater chance for damaged product,

How are these coils holding up for everyone? Trying to decide if these are worth upgrading my current setup (stock shocks w\ Pro Kit), I would like another .25"-.5" drop and any improvement in ride quality. The ride quality on Pro Kit is acceptable for me as-is but could be better...also the gf doesnt like it. Also concerned about salt\ice in the winter. I'm between these and Bilstein PSS.

Not one issue for me. I've made adjustments to them throughout the use to find the perfect ride height...

Mine doesn't do that

B-R-Z · 07-24-2014, 01:55 PM

How's the overall ride quality though? Does it improve enough to justify an upgrade from pro kit springs on stock shocks?

Ride quality is better than when I had the pro springs on IMO. For a coilover kit under 1K it's well worth it, if you want to go lower go for it. If you want to keep it the same ride height just stay with pro kit.

I have these installed on mine, I've been hearing serious clunking over bumps and dips. I'm curious as to how you managed to deal with those front endlinks. They were hell for me and I figured that clunking was that one is loose/stripped completely. New ones are going in tomorrow hopefully that fixes it, unless the clunking is in the back, in which case..how do I fix that?

Buuurz · 07-28-2014, 07:16 PM

But yeah, ride quality is great, I have zero complaints about these coils thus far

BRZPDX · 08-24-2014, 01:22 PM

Which camber plates fits these coils?

CarNoob · 10-19-2014, 12:53 AM

does the ST coilovers have an allen key on the top?

mmmcambelsoup · 10-20-2014, 05:48 PM

@CarNoob.. Yes, there is a hole for an allen key to hold the strut from moving when tightening the top with a pass through wrench.

I've read the vorshlag camber plates and the MSI ones fit as well
