    I like the description, I'm assuming they did the tests with the stock sti springs.

    my housemate has them on his '11 STI. He is extremely happy with them. They are not much harsher then the stock set up on the street and really shine when pushed. You have to make sure you specify what year you are putting them on, the 2011 has a different ride height then 08-10 and Feal needs to make the correct adjustments.
    Sometime GTWORX will have the Bilstein set up for the 08+ STI. I wouldn't hold my breath though. They were supposed to have released these last year, and I still don't think they are ready. (My housemate was on the list for the Bilsteins, now he has the Feal setup :) )

    Yeah, that's why I'm looking at these. Tired of waiting for the GTworx setup.

    The Bisltein package is almost ready now. The rears are already on shore and they are waiting for the fronts which should arrive any day. There's only a few sets not spoken for already so if you don't wait to wait another 4 months you better get on the list on.

    Odi (owner of Feal) knows his stuff and is great to work with. He went out of his way to verify a lot of details of the fitment of my rally struts (apparantly I'm the first/only one ever to run the Hotbits RSi rally setup on a B13 Nissan in North America). No hesitation recommending Feal for me.

    Also another note. Early last year they had a bad batch of struts(never asked why) and they were blowing prematurly. They paid my shipping to send my blown ones back and sent me new ones 1st without a deposit. Was great to see someone out there still takes care of their customers when there is a issue.

    If you go with the Feal, look at buying a set of used/blown struts to send back as the core set. That way you get to keep your originals together and have a set for summer and a set for winter.

    ^ +1 for this ive been thinking about doing this when i get a place thats heated to work on my car and make swaping them more comfortable. For right now im running my feals and rce yellows year round deep snow( 6"+) with the rce yellows is a pain in the ass as the car is constantly draging.

    Well, I wasn't able to find a set of used KW coils, so I'm thinking of ordering the Feal setup this week.
