Yeah I think so Si. I have seen a few 2005 Sti non wide arch which must have been late registered or something.

I believe a few members on here run them. Like you say, I'll think you'll get mixed reviews. IMO teins flex z are a much better buy (not being biased at all lol) or a good set of used bilsteins of a rb320, if you can find some.. would be a good option

Probably a bit late now but I had them on mine and they were fine. More comfortable than just lowering springs and could be adjusted to harden and soften them. I'd have them again.

the new Tein range is very good value for money and available from your friendly site sponsor

the BC's / D2 stuff is reasonable at best BUT the main thing we find is the lack of sales support could be far better
