mattsnow ...i have an '06 wrx wagon and am looking into these now too. was going to get the AGX's...(GC fronts/GD rears) but now these reviews have me intrigued. I currently am riding on pink wagon springs on stock struts but am weighing all my options....but my goals are just like the dude who posted above...exceptional daily driver, good stance with at MOST 1-2 track/autox days per year.
Are they making Tokicos in a wagon-specific style yet? BumbleBee_03 has D-specs on his 03 WRX wagon and they're great BUT the sedan-specific size means you lose a ton of camber up front. He added camber plates, but that's another $2-300. For the 04/05 wagons, I think the only 'plug and play' struts are Koni inserts paired with stock strut bodies.

Thanks for bringing up that point *******'. We wagon folks always have to have a hard time with everything. I was going to see if Tokico made a GC specific strut and buy those fronts and then buy sedan rears and do the washer mod but I dont think they sell Tokico D-specs for the GC.
Thanks for the mini review! Wasn't sure if the d-specs worked better with a stiffer spring or if the Swifts spring rates matched well to the d-specs dampening! I know that comfort level is different for everyone, I found that the AGX's with the 04 WRX Swifts springs to be very much a great daily driver, and occasional track day setup. I do notice a slight slight bit of bounce/oscillation on my AGX's set on 2 front and rear. On 3 they are much better, but becomes to stiff for the spring rate, and for daily driving ( me = grandpa). It needed a setting in between.
picture of the stance por favor.

Still, the majority of them just go through with the Koni inserts....a little harder install but it makes life eaiser in the long run.

I have Tein SS in my 04 STI and looking to go to something for Road/Daily driving and to play in some dirt. I have been reading alot on the D specs and STi take off.Im curious to know how the D specs hold up and how they perform on Gravel or fire roads. If anyone has experience i would love to hear feed back with what springs you have.
