Paul, just an observation.
I have an Sti v3 with 'full race'' suspension.

Coil-overs are great for the road IF you select a sensible spring rate, have the rear springs 80% of the front rate, and spend some serious time getting the damping adjusted to the springs and the roads you 'frequent'.

Oh, and buy the very best ones you can!

You could use Proflex for daily road use but they do require stripping and cleaning from time to time. When we used them for competition they were stripped and rebuilt after every event.

Proflex do a fixed rate road setup for the Impreza at a reasonable-ish price but they can't really be bothered to sell it.

I've passed my views to Pban, but i think LEDAs are a good quality solution, better than my AVO's for sure, but 3 times the cost too.
You do get what you pay for.

Totally agree. Proflex is the best IMHO for competition but costs £4K!!
