Do bigger springs need fitting when the newage STI spoiler is fitted to the WRX? Ive heard that due to the weight that they do ?? Anyone concur ??

 

Sounds like rubbish. They certainly weigh less than one passenger....

 

Yup! Get bigger springs or boot will always want to close.

I had non-sti big wind spoiler fitted to car when first bought (with uprated springs) then changed to sti spoiler later and those new springs only just do the job!

 

Rubbish ! I've fit one on mine and there's no problem !

 

Our STi rear spoilers do not need the springs replaced.
The bootlid will still pop open using the interior catch and once open it will stay open and will not fall down on your head.

What's the supplied,fitted and painted price of one of your DR M,painted black mica fitted to a wrx 02 plate ?

 

I've got a prodrive WR spoiler fitted to my WRX (the UK300 type) which is not as heavy as the STi spoiler. The boot still pops open ok but I do have to be careful when closing it, I only need to let it go from half way for it to close properly.

 

Cheers guys, ill try the originals first then source some uprated ones if it doesnt open

 

Have you fitted a genuine one of a copy? I have a genuine item and the springs IMHO ARE needed. maybe the copies are a touch lighter....
