I am waiting for my STI adj struts to arrive. I ordered "standard" STI springs to go w/ them. I know it is an expensive choice, but I am still trying to keep street driving comfort high and have the ability to adj for autoX. Does anyone have experience w/ this set up? They will go on my 02 sedan w/ Vishnu Stage 0 kit and 17x 7.5 Rota's.

i have the standard STi springs, and they're quite stiff. i don't know what the damping settings are like on the adjustable STi struts (i have the red non-adjustable ones, not the pinks) but be prepared for a pretty stiff ride.

 

Thanks for the info. I hope that the soft setting won't be much stiffer than stock.

Even at the lowest setting the KYB's are pretty stiff. Just a fair warning.

 

KYBs set at 1 are stock stiffness on GD applications. It's the spring rate that hurts the ride comfort.

 

Got my new Adj STI struts and RA springs and they are very stiff compared to stock. Very bouncy at 25mph pretty ok at 45mph and nearly the same ride at 65mph. Now on the AutoX track at even the softest setting they were amazing! What a difference! I even got oversteer. I also blew 2 of 4 runs in my exuberance. I will probably get used to the street feel faster than I will get up to speed on the track; what fun.
