you seriously don't know zeal? that's crazy. They are Fing huge in the japanese market. They make great stuff. zeal/endless.
I had a zeal function set up on my civic. The B6.
I honestly didn't like them that much. I was much happier with my koni yellow and neuspeed set up.
The zeals are really nice and rip on tarmac...or really smooth concrete. But on bay area roads with freaking huge sway bars and strut bars....way way to stiff for me man. Couldn't imagine what they'd be like with the cage and the stiffness of the wrx frame. Not to mention they look big pimpin.
Mike...how long do you have that set up? I'd be very interested in checking it out. I am thinking of bringing my car in for my 30k like pronto...I'm a bit over 31k right now.

The Zeals have been on the WRX for about 2,500 miles and were on the GC8 for about 3,000 miles prior to that (man they were crazy on the GC8!)
They are soon to be switched to a different coilover so you may want to come by sooner rather than later to get a ride with the Zeals

I drive up to my personal limitations, no further. If something seems hairy, I back off. Sure I have drifted my front LSD equipped 6MT WRX around corners at 100+, but I can control and recover from a slide.
