STI coilover kit?
Anyone making a coilover kit worthy of road racing for the STI?
Please, no TEIN garbage -- I've seen too many of those inaction and failure miserably.

Who has Cusco?
How much? Just curious as price isn't that relevant so long as I don't hear bang, pop, crackle, snap when I take it out to a road course and see how it really works.
And it better not require "adaption" - plug & play please.

I've done 8 track events on my 04 wrx so far with JIC coilovers and I love them. I have the older valving so they are a bit harsh in daily driving but great on the track.
V8VENOM, with the amount of track driving you do, you will unimpressed with the "out-of-the-box" spring rates that alot of coilovers come with. You can get JIC's ordered with any spring rates you want. I think Cusco might offer this as well?

Rob,
I take it the ground control's aren't really working out?
For your level of driving ability, you really need a matched system of dampening and spring rates. An off the shelf application just isn't going to cut it for you. I would highly recommend you speak with FT over at http://www.selgp.com . He is a suspension guru and has track tested a couple of systems on his STi. Tell him what you want out of the car and he'll point you in the right direction.
I haven't quite decided what to do on my STi yet. I thought about a custom tuned JIC FLT-RS setup, but I am really leaning towards the KW setup. Ohlin's is now importing a new setup for the STi as well.
