LOL, not me, although I'm starting to get used to the STi and it's really a lot of fun to hustle around the course.

go back to a stock front sway and attack the corner a bit more and you'll lift the rear too. most of the lift comes from too big a rear sway/not big enough front.

This. I've come to the conclusion that 20mm is not nearly enough. I still don't know why my "JDM y0!" side took over and possessed me to buy the Cuscos over the Whitelines.

Dunno man, I don't think I'll ever be able to drive the type of style you drive with. It's just not my driving style. I tried on my fourth run, with bad results.

Cusco...Y U so small? I think unless you actually want more oversteer, you're fine with the 20mm. yea i drive like a crazy person but for me it's the most fun. I may not be the fastest but I have a good time. is it the 14th yet?

you can do it with either spring/damper or sway bar. personally, i'd prefer to get the suspension setup with springs/dampers, but sway bars are a cheaper option.
