I went to swap out my stock springs for a set of STI springs this weekend. Install was rolling along great, had 4 tires off, rear seats out ect. After about 45 mins to an hour had the first strut apart an went over to my used set of springs to grab the first front spring when I quickly noticed there were two diffrent front springs. So after a quick check on NASIOC it seems I ended up with 1 JDM STI front spring and 1 USDM front spring! The rears were right. Anways geuss the moral of the story is . . .. . check your used parts before you start to install :roll:

If anyone has a need for 3 STI springs let me know! :lol:

To be perfect honest the guy who I got them from didn't know they were messed up. Apparently it was Gruppe S who screwed up. I only paid 75 shipped for them. When he sent them from cali the shipping was $43.00 so I would feel bad asking for money back since he made next to nothing in the first place (Sounds like USPS made out on this deal). For some reason I belive him so . . .. we will just let the 75 go (I can spend more than that on a good night at the bar). Sh*t happens. :D

lol. it's not so much then. yeah, you'll probably make more if you sell them rears - if they're genuine STi pinks, i'm sure some folks could use it ;-)

I've never delt with them my self, but after this icident and what I've heard from other people make me think diffrent. The person I bought them from was supposed to contact them and see what they had to say, but I'm not holding my breath. If he does and manages to get the missing spring. Then I'll have an extra set! :D
