valve spring

tom6 · 07-02-2007, 11:14 AM

why would the valve spring need to be replaced on a 2005 sti? is that pretty serious repair? fyi, that was done on my friends sti by a dealer. is that some indication of bad driving or something else?

2005 how many miles, maybe it was weak, who knows. Thats what a warranty is for.

Is that all they did?

Do these go up in STi's often? I have an 04, and I haven't swaped mine out.

Ideas?
