Are these coilovers worth it?
I believe there were people that were getting Koni's to fit, but if I had a STI I would probably consider going with the Feal Revalve.

I don't believe D-Specs are available for the 2005+ STI's (seeing as your profile lists your car as a 2006 STI) unless they happened to have released STI fitment ones recently (entirely possible, I just haven't checked to see).

actually its the opposite. ALL of these taiwanese coilovers youve seen for the last 10 years (Megan, Stance, HKS, Gruppe-S, etc) are all from the same factory , Bor-chuann.

they finally just started releasing them under their own name a couple years ago

Here's the thing about shocks... you get exactly what you pay for.
all of the el-cheapo coilovers pretty much ride like crap and generally last about a year. You just can't build a good shock for less than x-amount of dollars.
If you have a budget, than you want to do as-little as possible the best you can. As soon as you add adjust-ability, threaded bodys etc, you are taking money away from other features.
My suggestion is almost always to run springs and shocks instead of coilovers on street cars. You just don't need to (and won't) adjust the suspension. A set of good nonadjustable shocks (Bilstien, Tokico) and a good set of springs will work better and last longer than a set of crappy coilovers that will probably end up costing the same.
My suggestion: http://turninconcepts.com/index.php?...1_9_11_261_280 Take a look at their "not bangin rear end"

hey save up and get the kw or even better the RCE tarmac 2s. They are worth every penny. The bcs are decent but for that price I'd just get springs(RCE blacks, yellow, or Swift) and save the rest until i could get a good set of coils. for example I am saving up right now for TIC SSts( revalved AST 4100s).

If you want killer coil overs in that price range just buy jeff's. IPOZESTU has a for sale thread going. Best set up for the money by miles.
