Thanks for the correction. What is the specific need on adding the oil coooler. Just wondering. I have seen a couple of guys already add these . Is this for autocross application use.

In my case it is for road course track days. It is added insurance just like swapping out the radiator.
Which reminds me that I still have the C&R radiator from my WRX wagon sitting around waiting to go into the STi.

The KW's finally showed up. Now I need to mount the Cusco front camber plates and GroupN rears. 
They'll be going in along with new lateral links, new trailing arms, and Whiteline diff lock bolts - just in time for my next track day.

All in all, I am very happy with this purchase. I need to get some of the install pics out of the camera for the KW's and the Poltec rear setup. I'll post them soon.
In the meantime, here is a lap around Thunderhill that my buddy taped for me. It was my first time on the KW's so I wasn't pushing it hard until later in the day, but you can get an idea for how little body roll I have now.

Lifetime warranty, stainless steel, and they don't need rebuilding.

Actually my wife comes to the track with me and rides shotgun, so she is all for going faster.

A couple of quick pics from the latest track day (4/15). This was on the KW's and shaved A032R's.

These are stiffer and more accurate on the track than the JIC's I had on my WRX AND they are much more comfortable on the street than the JIC's.

The video is from my buddy's car. He is using a custom mount that attaches to the center rear headrest in his wagon. I'll have pics of my new digital video setup after this Friday's Thunderhill event.
