Have any of you guys/girls bought or researched the prices on takeoff struts from the STi? I am thinking of trying to go with takeoffs and pinks as the most cost effective combination for suspension upgrade. Any of you STi guys looking to sell?
that's not a bad price as long as he doesn't charge you tax. newayzz... I got mine for $450 and sold STi springs for another $80 and swap out with JDM Pink Springs. I recommend you to get Group-N top hats as well. It will improve your ride compare to stock strut top hats
neil at sog put the sti take-offs on his forrester... he said he needed camber plates... did u need them on the rex?
Well apparently, the 05 is a completely different sturt assembly. So, I will be looking for 04 takeoffs I guess...
definately, 05 STi struts wont fit into any WRX. You don't need camber plate on WRX UNLESS you wanna crank out crazy camber. It's possilbe to get -1.5~1.7 with stock camber bolts in the front, but i settled at -1.3 for compromise of highway & curves.
Just for your reference, Here is how much I spent $450 STi Struts $375 JDM Pink Springs $40 spring Swap at Kauffman --> This saved me good 2hr labor $90 Alignment My car handles very Neutral. After I put Milo's 20mm OEM rear bar, it leaned little more into oversteer side.
Do it! http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=764974 Get the N hats as well if you can, the stock ones leave a bit to be desired..
Thanks for the link Genya! This is def. the way I am going to go. I'l probably go with pinks though. Its gonna be a few months, but hoepfully not too long...
