Hm, I didn't know that about the MXs. Still, going back to the RE92s couldn't be THAT much of an improvement... I see what you mean about ride comfort, however. Perhaps a set of progressive springs and a lift kit?

No, I actually meant lift kit... as in raise that WRX by three inches and get some adjustable gas shocks and leaf springs and go for that Cadillac-smooth ride. Plush, man!
