Slight difference in drop, the ProKit gives 25mm drop whereas the Sti items are 15mm. But yea the eibachs are much cheaper.

Any issues with fitment? Were the springs captive without compression?

no issues. What's captive w/o compression mean?

Panman · 02-08-2013, 05:54 PM

Spring is trapped in the top of the shock when it's hanging free (isn't loose on the shock body before you fit it to the car.)

Yes c wo c

Im buying your RCE Yellows soon for my FRS i find them to be the best springs out right now. and they wont mess up the factory struts. i read something you guys posted anything more than 20MM can cause damage to the factory struts so i like the 20mm drop and the 250LBS spring rates on them

plus i like RCE A lot keep up the good work guys!

Jaylyons1 · 02-08-2013, 10:05 PM

That looks great! Just what I'm looking for too! I'm not trying to slam my car but do want to get a little bit of a drop. Anything over an inch is just too much.

icemanbrz · 02-11-2013, 07:04 PM

Where did you buy the spring?

DSOmegaX · 02-13-2013, 11:13 AM

Mine are arriving tomorrow from japanparts.com

. I believe this is the only source of them in the US for now.

ft_sjo · 02-17-2013, 01:21 PM

Does anyone know the rates of these springs? (particularly the higher rate)

Panman · 03-04-2013, 12:08 AM

Installed these in my 86 - Definitely a good upgrade. Certainly rotates quicker, ride is not compromised and drop is noticeable but not excessive as I have the factory Aero kit (Australia) and cant drop too much.

BRZebra · 05-03-2013, 03:30 PM

Would those of you with the STI springs kindly share how much they affected your wheel alignment?

Did you install any other suspension parts or just the springs?

Panman · 05-03-2013, 11:10 PM

I had mine aligned when I had them fitted - back to factory specs which it did with no problems. No other parts in mine except the springs at this point.

front : no camber change
rear : -1.5~1.8.

I installed Pink springs with STI flexible tower bar. (& front camber bolt too)
definitely better handling with good ride quality.
