I'm on Long Island, have SPT Pinks in my '06 and very much like them. Also running a Subaru 20mm RSB with Kartboy links, a 22mm Whiteline FSB, a performance alignment and P225/45ZR-17 Advan S4 tires. Pics here.

If you feel like making a trip out this way I'd be happy to give you some wheel time in my car.

If you hook up with cannonshooter you could also check out my set up. I've got the same links and FSB, a -1 alignment and pirelli p zero nero 16's on a spt v7 suspension .

i used to have eibachs i was not to thrilled by them, front was to high rear sagged, and handling was nicer than stock but for the same amount there are better options around

I'm also looking for some springs. I drive to Paterson everyday from western Morris county and need something that is comfortable. Also, what time and where at on rt. 23? I may be able to slide through for a few minutes between my weekend appointments . Also, I am noticing a grinding noise on my rear driver side when I make right turns like there is too much load on that side. Anyone know what this is?

would have to hear the noise

i think the time is like 830-9 for the meet, but im not positive best bet is to get on that forum and check up on the thread, im to scared to post about it on here... and i believe its a wendys not sure if theres mroe than one on there ha

i drove to paterson to get a set of rims with my prodrives and kybs and didnt bother me at all, actually thought that was a pretty subtle area for bad roads (except one i was behind some horrible building)

I have H-Tech Springs on my 05 wrx, the ride is just about stock feeling, a touch rougher and the drop is really appealing, i have been to paterson in my car and it handles the **** roads pretty well, and i live in morris county also.

Consider changing the sturts, too. The MRT springs I have on my 04 killed my struts in 20,000 miles. They also began rusting right away, so I've gotta decide if I want to buy all new parts or just the sturts.. the rust on the springs looks horrible.
