or are they all the same?
Got some STI pink springs to use on the gen 2, will throw them on current shocks but would prefer to get an idea of if they'll work before i pull it all apart
any thoughts or tips would be great
Do Gen2 Bilstein Shocks use different springs?

I had WRX Shocks with Kings on them, then I transferred the kings onto the gen2 bilsteins and they seemed to work fine. One shock crapped out a bit after that, but I don't think that it was related.
After writing this… I don't know if that's helpful?

Yeah I'm pretty certain that they are the same.
Depending on what year shocks the wrx ones are they use the same spring seats

ok cool, trying to establish if Gen2 ones are any different from STI pinks that are the popular choice on red struts. Did a similar setup in my gen1.
Looks like it'll be worth a crack, although i'm pretty sure my rear shocks are shagged.
