No,
but I looked at them seriously. I just bought coilovers from a vendor who carries the HKS, Cusco, Ohlins, etc. (the big boys), and he prefers the Zeals. I received mine Thursday. I'll be installing them tomorrow unless my boy insists on going to the Pro Bowl. I got the V6s with 10/8 rates. Hopefully I'll make the track day on the 24th.

are those the same as the HKS performers? i know that hks manufactures a majority of the coilovers that are made in japan- i think thats why i'm considering them.

The
Zeal's are actually made by Endless, unless I'm missing something. They're so pretty I actually want to mount them on my wall. Even prettier than my Cusco Vbrace. I'll try to snap some pics later.

....not all that seriously, though. That's a lot of money.

Pat I have the JDM Hypermax II's for my RS. I haven't installed them yet, and I was thinking about selling them? You interested, or are you looking for some for the wagon?

I don't want to not be able to use these rims and tires, though.

They only work on the GM6, they will not work on the GDA/GDB impreza's. You just can't use the OEM STi wheels. Prodrive P1's or rota's copy the tarmac II's work fine. They are in Indiana that I why I want pat to get them.

I think you just might have a deal, homey.
Did you see the pic of the rims on my car that I hotlinked above? I wonder if they would fit my rims.
