If you're worred about installing the springs just ask for help. There are quite a few people on here that have done spring swaps and I'm sure that one, or more, of them wouldn't mind coming over to help out.

I recommend geting an alignment very soon, most say a week after the car has been lowered. Also not to diss tein springs, but they are not really suitable for the Wrx stock struts (the springs are very soft), so you might be looking to get some new struts later on.

My Greens are not soft at all, infact its much stiffer than the stock ride. I rode in a wrx with progress springs before i got the tein's and that was deff bouncy. Diddent Tein change all there springs late 04 for some reason?

tein H tech here.

superb ride quality (less cushy than 06 oem, but very, very nice. NO microbounce felt)

heck for 350 I'LL put em on for ya!!! (lolol)

Cue Auto did a fantastic install on mine, and i was out the door for around 180 total. Zero compressor tools used or needed for my app.

keep in mind, there's diff rates (for diff. years) of the same spring abound....

ese

where is cue auto, and was that price (180) with an alignment? See i dont have enough money to buy new struts and i probably wont when they go out because of these springs, so should i hold off because that will probably happen?
