    RCE Yellow's before and after. The after was taken a day after the install they have settled a bit since then but overall I love the new look, its almost perfect in my opinion. Thanks again on the killer price Mike!

    23 and 20 lower than pinks so if I did my math right that would be 1.7 inches in the front and 1.575 in the rear.

    20mm for JDM + 23mm for RCE 43/25.4 = 1.7
    20mm for JDM + 20mm for RCE 40/35.4 = 1.575

    also pic of car last summer

    IIRC it's 23/20 drop from stock, not from pinks. When they compare these springs to "Pinks" they only refer to spring rates, not drop. I didn't think it looked like a huge drop after the installation.

    Read again they are not talking about "WRX" ride height its "STi" ride height

    The highly anticipated Super Sport Street/Track Springs, an OEM replacement spring for 2004-2007 Subaru WRX STi from Racecomp Engineering. Designed for use with standard STi inverted struts

    chet was assuming his thread would quickly go off topic as most of his do. So Chet, thank you for being proactive. :laugh:

    btw- they are 20/23mm lower than stock sti springs, not pinks.

    Read the drop on STi vs pinks, then we will talk.

    I'll do it for you, there is not much of a difference at all.

    one more time for clarification-

    RCE yellow (sport) springs are 23/20mm lower than stock sti springs NOT 23/20mm lower than pinks. The comparision RCE uses against 'pink' springs is ONLY referencing the springs rates.

    IF they were 23/20mm lower than pinks it would pretty much having you ride on the bump stops.

    I will give you a phone number if you need further proof. I'm just picking on you chet, the suspension rides great...and that's what matters. 295# & 275# is a pretty nice set-up for those struts you have.
