Blimey mate, is there anything you like about your car??? 
According to your recent threads it's: too loud, too harsh, not enough power, inadequate brakes etc..
Get a new car!! you're fixing to spend a fortune on it as it stands!
Some Tein Coilovers are adjustable, depends what model you have!

You need to buy a bug-eye WRX mate !
Seriously, TEIN's can be re-valved, but it won't be cheap, and you would need softer springs to match....
HTH

P.S. buy some STI bits and sell the Tein's to a young 'un...

Interesting comment Mr Dunx. My last Scooby was a Bugeye and I loved it. Then I wanted to get another one and everyone said get an STi so I bought an STi 10 and it had Prodrive Springs, Prodrive 18" alloys & 40 profile tyres and the car bouced so much it was hard to handle. Ok on a smooth road and perfect with a heavy load on board. I think the springs were so hard there was not enough movement for the dampers to actually function so it pogo-ed. Now I have OEM Springs, 17inch wheels and 45 tyres and I think I can corner faster than before - certainly much more comfortable. I am investigating new dampers. Owdie and BM can give a good ride with good roadholding, why not Scooby. I am therefore keeping an open mind about aftermarket springs. What say you about EXE-TC? Any others? Peter

Which ones do you have matey...?
Most of the one sccoby drivers are recommended (super streets) are adjustable for damping yeah. You can even fit the EDFC so that you can adjust the damping from inside the car while driving if you want.

IMHO AST are the best value, EXE-TC are nice if you have a bigger budget...
Tein's are just too harsh, they really need a UK setting. Then I'd buy them.
LOL

There is Dunc!!! Superstreets with 40/30 springs for a classic or 40/50 for the new age. Went out for a ride in one the other day and the ride on the soft settings was excellent!

Please may you explain what 40/30 and 40/50 springs mean. I am collecting the spring rates for all the springs I can find. Do you have the rates for these? Thanks Peter
