Default What colour are stock WRX springs?

What colour are the stock springs on the MY06 WRX? Are they yellow by any chance?

I don't know what I have on mine. It looks a bit lower than normal, but it doesn't actually drive as well as I'd expect if it was aftermarket.

OEM springs are black. Pink in the case of STI lowering springs


Yellow Springs would be King Springs

Pinks are about 15-20mm lower. And I think around 20% stiffer too

king springs are $80-130/pair.. on standard shocks they're nothing to brag about - purely there to cosmetically lower the car.

Matched up with some decent shocks (koni adjustables or the likes) makes for a much much MUCH nicer ride.

Yeah... its feels a little strange.
Its bouncy, but not in the sense that its not stiff - but it almost feels like its resonating a bit when I hit a bump.

Think I'd need some shocks soon... any recommendations for bang for buck? I don't think I'd need adjustables.

Thanks.
