alrighty, this is what i have found. s203 pinks dont exist. s203's are equipt with tuned by arai coilovers. verified.

tein and tanabe BOTH, admit that the design of the springs for the sti was flawed and the less tolerant 05 suspension clunks and makes this design aparent. hence the redesign. verified.

tein changed the drop, tanabe changed both drop and rates. a few vendors and suspension experts i have talked to came up with a perfect rate for springs without naming a designer. the rate was 280/230 (espelir).

so my choice is clear, and will be made this week.

espelir gt's 280/230 1.2f .8r more drop less rake
tanabe gf210 323/245 1.0f .5r less drop more rake

YES, i am getting the ohlins, as soon as my old impala sells. which means some lucky seccs member will get these springs prolly half price. but its looking like the impala sale might take all summer. so i want satisfaction, hell im american. need instant gratification! NOW! HURRY! GET TO DA CHOPPPA!

HELP ME DECIDE. i have stared at numbers far tooo long, perhaps an unbiased opinion would help me out.
