i have eibach sways and found that the stiffest setting up front caused major understeer. i bumped it to the middle setting and now front and back break loose at almost the same time, with a tiny bit of oversteer...great highspeed turn control now!

the sportline springs made more of a diff by a long shot though. right now the limiting factor is sh**ty tires

hiboost,
thanks for great post.

what year did your wrx had?

you mentioned you're not "average" road driver which sounds great to my ears and makes me to ask you few more questions if u dont mind....

lots my friends have STIs here and I never really want to "race" them on country, curvy roads with Stang, simply because I lknow that those cars can spank almost anyone there...exactly ... its not matter of HP and torque there.

Do you think you could keep up pace with your mods with stock wrx on curvy, rally - style road???

I would have to think about that. I haven't really thrashed this setup, but I know I need more forward bite. I would have to see how my car would drive with REAL tires, not the little stockies.
