I have these fitted to mine by Zak @ Mocomracing.com.

Am very happy with them. Lovely build quality, very adjustable from nice and comfy to rock solid.

Top service from the boys at Mocom too.

Are you running these with standard top mounts or Noltecs?

How are they on bumpy b roads? or on track?

Also how easy is it to adjust, ride firmness and height?

sorry for the multitude of questions

Nice and compliant on bumpy roads. Haven't tried it on track yet, but have tried the harder settings and have no doubt that they would work well on track.

Adjustability if straightforward, bump is at the bottom of the strut (can be adjusted without removing wheels or jacking the car up). Rebound is adjusted via the top of the topmount (fronts are easy, rears usually need the seats removing or alternatively drill little holes in the parcel shelf for regular easy access). For height adjustment, just jack the car up and turn the collars (after unlocking them).

Hi mate

We currently have these fitted to our '06 STi demo car which is used everyday on Newcastles finest bumpy and potholed roads and has also recently done a trip to Spa and the Nurburgring for full road and track testing and we were blown away by their handling both on and off track.

Email Glenn (our boss man & our r&d tester) for more info and he'll be glad to help - mention your a scoobynet member and you may get some discount too....... sales@revolution.eu.com

Cheers
