From posts I've read on here they're a bit hardcore for everyday use, but some people say the same about Teins as well, whilst others reckon they're fine.
It all boils down to what you're used to.
I'm used to WRX shocks and Prodrive springs, which offer a relatively hard ride but nothing that bad, so I went for BC's with 5/4 rate springs.

Best thing I can recommend you do is find someone in a local scoob club with the same suspension you're buying, and get a ride in it - then make your decision based on that.

There`s a few Scoobs locally and they all use the Scooby garage up the road from me so that might be an option, cheers.

Has anyone used these coilovers http://www.japspeed.co.uk/Subaru-Imp...s/p-24-76-603/

What sort of a job is it to change them. I`ve just been quoted £170 including 4 wheel alignment afterwards......a days work
