Where does one get some STi pink paint from? Bought a used set of Forester STi springs that have some nicks. I just want to touch them up a little.

well paint probably wont work well because the spring moves... so the paint will crack and flake off... youd need to powdercoat them. but honestly no one sees the springs so why bother?

That's what I thought. If it was quick, easy, and cheap I was going to do it. But if I cant just touch it up its not worth it.

Thanks

Did you get those springs installed? How do you like them? How come I never see you around town?

we haven't installed them yet as I've been busy. Maybe this weekend we'll get around to it. Between his car and both of mine it's almost like a full time job!

My mechanic, has been busy working on his own project as you can see above.

I'm hoping Sunday to at least get the STi uppipe and/or springs in.

Right Jeffro!!!????

Edit: I live near Doylestown, not Dowingtown, which is why you haven't seen me.

LPC runs about $20 a spring and I can vouch for the quality of his workmanship

AHHHH!!! The OTHER D-Town. Gotcha!

Let me know what you think of them. I just missed out on a set of JDM Forester STI takeoff strut/springs/tophats so I may just throw a set of the pink Forester STI springs on the stock struts.

Swift makes a set for the FXT that are are pretty much the same as the FSTI ones, but cheaper. I would have bought them, but got a good deal on FSTI ones.

The Swifts are more looks whereas the STI pinks are more performance. I prefer the latter. May be a good way to use up some SubieBucks as well.

Regardless, let me know how you like them once you get them on.
