They aren't pinks if you found em for $60, but they'll definately not be setup properly for your stock struts.

the thing about the pinks is that they're the same thing as 04- USDM STi springs (which do sell for less than $60), but are sold for the WRX. I thought it was amusing when subiegal told someone on nasioc that the STI springs wouldn't be compatible with WRX struts but the pinks, with spring rates of 224f/194 r, work fine and give a slight drop. Gee, it's like the words came right out of the SPT catalog.

Either way I would not use them on stock struts.

Actually not quite. The SPT pink wagon spring is apparantly the same as the 04 STi spring

Some of the pinks are, but there are at least seven different pink springs I can think of off the top of my head. Still, if they're going for $60 I highly doubt they'll be pink anything, unless it was painted afterwards.
