i also got a ride in there sti to see how their suspension feels.
How was the ride quality? Did they mention which suspension parts were used on the car?

Since the car is left-hand drive, I'm assuming that car is based here in the U.S. somewhere - did they say where?

Thanks for posting the pics. For a demonstration vehicle, the product graphics look pretty nice. Big, but nice.

umm i some kinda of electronic controlled type thing (http://www.tein.co.jp/edfce.html) this what we were intrested in. i am not sure what kinda of struts were on there. tein is located in downey and we (fabtech motorsports) is in chino. we make suspensions for trucks and off road trucks. we were looking at electronic thingamajig and think of using their coils on our suspension kits. we currently use eibach on out kits. the ride was really stiff all the way around, we set it to stiff and it was really stiff you can feel every single bump and crack on the road. then we set it soft and you can tell the difference between soft and hard but soft is still kinda hard i am guess that they had to have had their racing struts on. jsut a gues.
