Anything for a WRX non STi will fit your hubs. Also its harder now to find places that will give you the right camber plates for the older cars, BC Racing does have 97-01 specific coils.

I have RaceComp Engineering Tarmac II's with Vorshlag Camber Plates and I really like them.

Never heard of those coils before. I'm new to the scene of subis.

High quality coilovers. RCE T2 are KW revalved with different springs exactly for the subis. I just got KW V3 for mine cause i plan on using it more for DD an plan on autoX it later, but if i was more into tracking my car or it wasn't my DD then i would've went for the T2. Im not sure about the older model subis but seems like RCE T2/KW V3 or Clubsports/Ohlins/Etc seem to be the recommended coils to run, could also look at Feal/Fortune Auto/RCE T0 and such.

Oh btw, anyone with a 08+ STi that wants KW V3. i got a set with just under 9k miles for sale. Was gonna throw it on the 15' but not sure if i wanna go the power route before the looks/handling route haha.

How's about silkroads? I had these coil overs on my DD 180sx a long time ago and they where awsome. Comfort was great and smooth. I might go with these if this was my last option lol

Don't even think that make coilovers for gc8s haha. Best bet is to post your price range.

If you want comfort get good set of struts and springs... And group N hats. Coils + DD / comfort = no sense.

No worries, i run STi struts, JDM Pinks and Group n hats with 1 inch spacers, they are nice a firm yet you wont need to see a chiropractor after a drive.

I suggest feal's 441 kit, a few i-club members use them for autocross and rally. So far they have gotten good reviews.
