Just to give a frame of reference, some STi guys that I autocross with tried the Tein SS kit and were disappointed with the stiffness- said it felt stock, at best, even at full hard dampers. the basics are like the SS, but at the "6" hardness setting (instead of "0" which is full hard). People that go with the Flex dampers seem to think they're quite the improvement.

My $0.02

you didnt go basic with a choice in cars.....why go basic on the coilovers? Good ones do cost a little bit more (anywhere from a few hundred to several thousand more) but you get what you pay for

Look good, but stick with coilovers or stock springs with stock struts for maintaining strut valving.
