Have them fitted to my P1 for the last 18 months and can't fault them. They lower the car as much as you want to lower it and they're not too harsh for day to day use. When used to their max on track, B roads they're awsome.

I have a set which i shall be fitting next weekend....
But i had a few problems that i should have thought of first
1. I have HKS Coilovers and Topmounts but found that the HKS topmounts don't fit Tein's
2. for all four corners the OEM's from Subaru are over £400.
Managed to get the front top mounts for £112 new... (not for subaru) and the rear ones are second hand from Grade A for £70 inc P&p
If you do decide to get them look at the extra £100 for the Tein Top mounts as they should improve handling a lot from the standard OEM but i was told a 4week waiting on them (Demon Tweeks Motorsport, Motorcycle, Modifying, Parts and Accessories)
From what i have heard they are a good suspension kit at a very good price so worth a look.
Once i have them on then i can tell you how they ride. Right height from 330mm down to 200mm drop... ( very low infact lower than mine) have a look on my View Scooby.

Ive just ordered a set with the top mounts, will let you know how i get on with them. i was just wondering what ride height most folk set theres to? Its for a track car so speed bumps wont be a issue if its decked.

I would say thats not normal.. you may have the rear lower than the front or vice a verse. I would give them a good clean and oil them up on the threads. otherwise you will find that adjusting the height is going to be hard...
Whats the condition of them. i can send you the book i got with mine via email if you like.

Had these on my 04 STI for a couple of months now and I can't fault them. The ride quality remains excellent along with the EDFC which I had fitted at the same time makes a big difference to be able to adjust damping at the touch of a button. I wasn't sure at first whether it was going to be worth the extra cash but I'm happy with the end result, well worth giving these ago and maybe add the EDFC at a later stage.
