Question

Has anyone fitted STi Pink suspension to a UK car.

My UK94 has suspension which has now past its sell by date and needs replacing. Don't want anything too expensive. But it has to be reasonably stiff to cope with the odd hillclimb / sprint and track day.

Does anyone run STi Pink suspension (is it 22B suspension) ~ if so what's it like ?

Thanks

Mark

I was interested in the same setup. Saw this setup for sale on i-club USA for £270 exluding taxes & shipping, which would have worked out @ >£450 once in the UK.

Best wait till the Bilstein coilovers are out soon or buy secondhand set.

Saw private ad for breaking an Sti somewhere on here 2/7

I was running Bilstein coilovers last season and they were way too hard. Ran all sorts of different springs ratings, however the suspension units were from a group A Tarmac car set for Belgium. They had only been used a couple of times before I bought them second hand as the owner ran out of money.

I just could't really use them at anything really below 100Mph as the suspension didn't really work below that. For hillclimbing and sprinting use they were just too much
"Jiggled" absolutely everywhere....

I'll give STi Pinks a go.

Thanks

Bilsteins I was taking about are new & designed for fast road use with ride height adjustment.
Due for release Aug 2001 & a very competitive price,

Black, I am running Pink springs with STi dampers. I also have fitted the ALK and solid drop links front and rear.

The car is nice and tight, yep still supple.

Cool,

Any details available on the web ?
Sounds just the sort of thing I'm after.

Cheers
