I like them, 7 out of 10. they domt have as much travel as stock so over some rough roads are kind of rough and can give you a rollercoaster effect. I think the rally edition ksports may be better but I don't know. In the twisties they absolutely rock. I imagine they'd be great on a track also. offroad they're not bad, little stiff and not a lot of wheel travel. I have them set to softest setting which is quiet comfortable. I also opted for a lighter spring in the front. There were two different rates to choose from in the front.

I've been fixing little things here and there, dirty electrical conmectors plagued me for about a week. It is now running smoothly and just in the colesac I can already feel the response of the lighter flywheel and ported exhaust. Before my cold air intake. Check out my custom rockstar pcv breather/oil catch can. Image Image

Looks good. I had a catch can with the breather installed for a while. The fumes really smelled bad coming from it, so I got rid of it.

You're not supposed to run open pcv setup on turbo cars with maf I thought.

Here's an idea of how bad the body was, hail damage almost punctured the roof.

New AEM coilpacks because the longer dwell time of my ECU was too long for the factory coilpacks. I was burning a coilpack out every 3 months, these bad boys are used in nitro cars and give off one hell of a spark... LOL, I got bit by it once, 40kV

How big are those coil packs (dimensions)? Do they have integrated igniters or do they require a separate igniter?

Think I'm the first to try these on a Subaru, probably no benefit unless your running 40+Psi of boost which I have no intention of doing. I estimate they about 2"X3", mine are the "dumb" coilpacks that do require ignitors, they also have "smart" coilpacks that do not require ignitors. http://www.aemelectronics.com/?q=produc ... -dumb-coil I already had 2 dual channel LINK ignitors so I decided to keep using them, and they're firing sequentially not wasted spark. I'm not sure if I noticed any performance gains with the stock turbo but I was burning out factory coils because they couldnt handle the long dwell time.

Thanks for the link and info. I would like to go to individual coils on my setup, but would like to keep the dumb coils so I can keep using the MSD ignition system. My problem is space....I'm not sure where the hell I'd mount the coils. There's just no room left.

Yeah, space is limited. I got a hold of some old school vishnu fuel rails for a 2.5rs,, it converts sidefeed to topfeed. Im hoping the 550 injectors will fit, if not, I have the 2.5rs manifold I may look to fitting.
