+1 for ryball, we are running Tein HG's. They are totally fantastic, and about 1000% more durable than the DMS 50's that I used to run on the rally car. I've had the Tein's on the car for over 2 years now and haven't had to do a thing to 'em.

I can't recommend them highly enough if you're doing dirt driving or rallycrossing.

Are they still acceptable on-road? I totally want those.

We did, the front bumper is cracked. We started loosing water as we killed the clamp on the lower rad hose. If only we had in car for the drive back to service some interesting things were being discussed and some very questionable driving by Neil!

I am not a hard cornering track-day kinda guy. I want something that I can start rally crossing with without worry. Impressions at full stiff vs. stock WRX susp?

the hg's at full stiff are pretty stiff. That's the setting I've used in the past for track days, autocrosses, and all-tarmac stages. It's tough for me to recall stock WRX shocks, since I haven't driven those in a number of years.

As far as rallycross, hellZ yeah these are great! I think for rallycross classing purposes they'll put you in open4wd, but who cares? Get some proper dirt tires on there as well, and have a blast!
