so in the process of taking everything apart on the rear of the GTX, the top of the springs are broken. i cannot find any that are actually for the gtx as they are harder and larger diameter than the gt. does anyone know of companies that still make springs for the car?

well, have a set of ground control coilovers on the way, bad news, is the upper mounts are pretty shot and getting crusty. literally no companies make these anymore might have to just make some plates out of steel to mount in there.2018 STI | Stock DD

as of right now it seems a set of custom top hats, with stock shocks that have been modified to fit mr2 inserts will be what i'm going to try and use. this car has been one hell of a project so far2018 STI | Stock DD

i'm talking with a guy that has the above setup with the custom top hats so i'm probably going to try and pick those up, and just swap in my new coil setup. gotta wait until payday as this car is bleeding me dry at this point
i'm really debating just putting the car back together this weekend without new shocks or top hats(the originals are ok to use, but they are fairly rusty) just drive it until i get the new shock setup in, well not drive it but drive it to my buddies so we can start the rust repair on the floor2018 STI | Stock DD

well got the rear shocks mounted, they are stock bottom tubes modified to fit mr-2 inserts. custom upper mounts with camber adjustment. threw on the ground control coilovers and everything seems to be good, we'll see how the ride height is as soon as i can get the wheels back on it lol
as of now i've got the bearings mostly replaced, just the one bearing is stuck to the hub so my buddy took those home to work on.2018 STI | Stock DD
