Thanks - already been looking at those threads.
The FS thread states a 30mm drop :?

Might just go ahead with the purchase, the drop looks good and judging by reviews, seem to be a good spring.

... Now just waiting on Phat to reply to my email.

I'd consider going there in future if my impending swap to Pinks works out well :ok:

Even lower, stock GT-B to Sti Pink to S-Tech.
And leaning towards Bilstien rebuild to suit eventual ride height.

I asked fatfrog to clarify the 25mm/30mm question as regards S-Techs:

"In regards to s-techs vs Sti springs, Sti springs are a 15mm drop from std. Every quotes s-techs as 25mm drop, but IMO they are more like 30mm drop. So 15mm more then Sti. Good way to tell difference is to measure the centre of your wheel to guard, then minus 15 or 30mm depending on your lowering.
Hope that helps."

All this research has me wondering if there's another alternative between re-valved Billies/springs and coilovers >>> perhaps springs and upgrade adjustable struts?
I did find out that USDM Legacy coilovers work fine for AUDM Liberties... Food for thought!

To OP,

This car is a blast from the past, but Arith did the STI, S-Tech, Coilover thing. Might help in your search.
