Do the STi spec C struts have enough dampening? Holy crud! I'm running 275/300 with my Ground Controls, and I'm probably 3/4 - 1/2 a turn from max on my Koni Yellows.

I just added a use thing. Pretty much it is a scale on what type of coilover set-up it is in my opinion.
Comfort - daily driving
Street - stiff, but not crazy stiff. For a stiff ride, but passengers may not like.
Race - very stiff and very uncomfortable

No problem. Just make sure to try a bunch of suspension set-ups before you buy one. Like... many people say, it depends on a variety of things. Even a stiff set-up can ride nicely on a nicely paved road.

This thread is useful, however I think I will just make a suspension guide resource sticky and merge your post into it. Get a list of every single coilover, spring, damper, and sway bar option. Then people can post heir impressions of each

That's a good idea to sticky it. I think you'll agree and most other people will agree as well is that suspension is very subjective to many factors and preferences.
I like to link coilover set-ups to the product reviews, but in many cases, there are no reviews available here on I-Club. I know for my set-up, I am the only one who has reviewed it.
I think the best first step is to have people who actually have these set-ups add a listing into the product review section. That way, I can start to link them from the spectrum. I think this will also keep it more organized.
