I had my 03RS for 6 years.
2 1/2 years ago, I replaced OEM suspension to 2004 STI takeoffs at 40000miles. (the reason is the dealer could not align my car because they said my right rear strut was not straight somehow, they wanted $360 + labor for replacement.)
Today, I have this 2004 STI takeoffs for about 40000 miles and I am a bit tired of the stiffness. Therefore, I am planning to change everything back to OEM setting, I still have the OEM stuff with me. Here are my options, would you guys giving me some suggestions?
1. Buy a new pair of rear strut (TOKICO or KYB), and replace with old
springs and old front strut.
2. keep the old springs, buy a new set of strut (TOKICO or KYB)
Plus, I am planning to sell the 04 STI takeoffs with 04 tophats (after replacement), let me know if you are interested.
this is a picture with the sti takeoffs on my car.
