GP Moto suspension
Anyone seen or tried this. It's HSD (from Japan?) with GP Moto modification I think.

They are a local company here in Portland, OR. The shop I buy parts from put the GPMoto coilovers on their project legacy. They love the coilovers. They say that the performance is improved and the ride quality is still good. I got the impression they would feel like H&R coilovers. Since I'm not looking into coilovers, I don't have anymore details really.

I'm thinking of going to something more street-friendly. I have DMS with 280# f/r and DMS Valving. Great for track, but not comfy.
Maybe just Prodrive springs on OEM struts. ...

Yeah, I went with the Sti stuff. Struts, springs, and tophats. I'm happy with the comfort and performance. Just like everyone says, the USDM bits are a bit bouncy on the hwy. They are deffinately stiffer than stock. They handle much better. They are much flatter through turns, launches, and they give a much better feel of the road. I took a 3hr road trip on them last week, and while it wasn't like riding in a luxury car, it was comfy enough for my 24 year old body
Through the mountain pass I was taking turns marked at 40 at 75 and could have pushed further. I didn't want play around too much with a suspension I'm not used to. I would rather learn at the track. Oh yeah, this was in the rain. The 40 mil inverted strut is really strong compared to the WRX 20 mil. I think pink springs will make the ride perfect, cause the stock springs are underdampend causing the bouncyness. And all for the wonderful price of $500. Unless you care more about look and price, then get springs for your stock struts. If you want performance to match, but don't like the price of coils or the ride, get this. You won't be dissapointed. Installation was really easy too.
