Considering selling my Cusco coilover suspension.
The struts themselves are height adjustable only.
Top mounts are supplied with them and are rose jointed and adjustable, to allow users specific camber settings. The top mounts alone are an expensive item to purchase (for any suspension
)
I have had numerous suspension set ups over the past 4 1/2 years including Subaru's Prodrive Bilsteins, both std Prodrive and Professional, Leda "B"'s and Eibach and HKS springs on std struts.
As an appraisal for this set up, I would say they are more suited to country type roads as well as motorway use and perfect for track use. Their downside i feel is in low speed town use with speeds in the 20-30mph bracket as they are harder than say the Leda setup. It's not hard enough that you can't live with it, but if you use your car for commuting through the streets to go to work for example, you may become tired of them in due course. Out on the open road however, I haven't came across a better setup for my preferences. Very sure footed and confidence inspiring.
I do not know what the spring rates are, would hazard a guess at approx 400Ib front, 350 Ib rear.
There is no noise from these units that the likes of Leda can give and i haven't been able to detect any additional noise in the cabin due to the solid top mounts.
Anyone interested locally, drop me a mail, but would advise you check out what they would cost new before making me an offer. In other words 300 quid will be politely declined.

I guess something more standard for your old back, possibly P1 suspension or something similar from the sti parts bin.
if I win the panties, send them to moses. at least it will give him some skid markz to look at, since old reaky still ain't back
