I won't BS you, these coilovers bounce on the freeway, they are *not* comfortable. I daily drove on them for about a year. Not bad at all around town but I *hated* them on the freeway. They were great at soaking up the big bumps, but I think they're over sprung for the little stuff and would bounce on what looked like smooth road. So if you commute on the freeway, I'd suggest passing on 'em unless you're totally used to stiff suspension. With a load of stuff in the trunk, they seemed to smooth out, so if you've got a 2nd gen Legacy or Outback, they might be a decent choice due to the extra weight in the back. Preloading the rear springs might achieve the same effect as well, but since I was happy w/ the on-track handling, I stopped fussing with them. I'm selling them because I got a great deal on a custom Koni/GC race setup off a racecar that was getting parted out... otherwise I would have just kept 'em because my WRX isn't my daily driver any longer.

On track/autocross, they rocked. I went to a stiffer rear spring for a little bit of a looser setup, and used a helper simply to capture the shorter 7k spring. Spring rates are linear on all 6 main springs. Both sets of rear springs and the helpers are included.

Bump and rebound are adjustable, but there's a single screw that changes them both at the same time. Inverted struts reduce unsprung weight. Ride height is rediculously adjustable... I had the car +1 inch above stock and -3 inches below stock, and there was more adjustment to spare. Height adjustment does not effect damper or spring pre-load.

On my car, these coilover never clunked or squeeked or anything... they were dead quiet.

As with any coilovers, you will need rear camber bolts and an alignment to make these work. They will drop into any 2002-2005 WRX/RS, and the 2004 STi. Other Imprezas will work with different rear topmounts.

I'm asking $1000 for the set, including the extra springs, plus actual shipping costs. They sell new for $1500-$1700.
