LegacyDan Posted June 30, 2010 Posted June 30, 2010 Just wondering what people recommend to pair with standard JDM Bilsteins. Im currently lowered 40mm on Tein S-techs but want to try something different. I think the Teins are a bit hard and maybe a bit low at the rear with the 18's and can be a bit noisy over uneven surfaces. Was looking at the STI pinks. IS there any other springs i should be considering that will fit the jdm Bilsteins on a 2005 ?

LegacyDan Posted June 30, 2010 Author Posted June 30, 2010 any idea how the Teins compare to Pinks? obviously the teins would be lower so i will actually be raising the car a bit!
scoobydoobie Posted July 1, 2010 Posted July 1, 2010 Check out the chart on post#11 of this thread: http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/which-springs-my-blisteinsi-66368.html?t=66368&highlight=%22bilsteins+swifts%22 It's a good comparison of the different springs available. I can say that I just put wagon Pinks on Bilstein HDs and I am super happy with the set up. Just got it aligned today and the car feels great.
spartan Posted July 1, 2010 Posted July 1, 2010 I have swifts/ bilsteins on my wagon. They look and ride fantastic.
LegacyDan Posted July 7, 2010 Author Posted July 7, 2010 might have an opportunity to swap my Tein S-techs with a set of pinks, off a guy i know locally with a jdm Legacy. Would i be crazy not to swap? i would be raising the car 25mm if im understanding the heights. 15mm vs 40mm
scoobydoobie Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 Yes you would be crazy not to swap. S-techs are not a performance oriented spring and are mainly meant for slamming the car (the "S" stands for style). While pinks are a great performing spring with less drop, which will make your struts happier.

He was looking to get a set of Teins anyway. we could probably get them swapped over in afternoon
