Default What Coilovers for a 2004 WRX???

Been searching looking for info on coilovers, and im more confused now then when I started.

Im after some coilovers for my 2004 WRX. After some searching on Scoobynet, ive come across a lot of people who where not happy with the ride and which was making the car was undrivable, So I would like to stay away from the coilovers where the ride is really harsh and undrivable.

So has anybody got any ideas on which coilovers to go for which are suited for fast road driving on UK roads.

Ive also saw good reviews on AST suspension from Powerstation. but £1,400 + vat is out of my reach for a car that wont see many trackdays.

So what's wrong with the suspension that's on there at the moment?

If you are not doing many track days, you'll never notice or care about the difference coilovers make. What you will do is have a worse handling car for the majority of the time.

By the way I would not put Leda on my car, great customer service, not such a great product.

Good point.

The only reason I was thinking of coilovers, is that with a good geometry set-up and ARB etc, I just thought it would make a really good handling car, Ive got the big brakes and more power,but done nothing to the suspension yet.

I am hopefully going to the ring in the summer, if it would make a differance to the cars handling, and I really enjoy the experience, I will do more trackdays.
