We just installed a custom FLTA2-RS on our STi this past weekend with spring rates over 2.5 times stock, and believe me the ride has improved over stock.

And the units are top quality, quite happy with JIC personally.

We also installed another unit on an Evo, and that customer seems quite happy as well

I would TOTALLY disagree with this as well. The FLTA2 has consistently been one of the best all around performers on the Subaru's sicne they were introduced.

Remember guys, your wheel and tire choice as well as tire pressure has everything to do not only with handling but with ride quality as well.

We have done the FLTA2's time and time again on customer Subaru's here in NY, with 17 and 18 inch wheels (all lighter than stock), and all with T1S tires (typically the lightest you can get in any given size whihc is why we carry them!), and have always been amazed at the combo of great handling and good ride quality.

THIS WAS VERY TRUE OF TWO WRX's I RODE IN. But in both cases it was the set up job done by the install shopp. Ride quality imporved markedly when the dampening was correctly adjusted and the cars werecorner balance it isnt the product frequently like computers its the opperator or installer.
