    Looking for some insight/advice.

    03 WRX and i'm on the fence about ordering some coilovers. Currently I have Tokico Blue struts mated with SPT springs. Great setup, but they are a little tired, and one of the rear struts leaks a little from what I can tell.

    I've liked the way they have been for DD'ing. Not too stiff/bumpy, but a good for when I'd like to do some spirited driving. Looking for something relatively close.

    I was looking at the Tein Flex Z kit https://www.rallysportdirect.com/part/coilovers/vss28-c1ss4-tein-flex-z-coilover-kit

    -or-

    BC Racing coilovers https://www.rallysportdirect.com/part/coilovers/f-02-br-bc-racing-br-coilovers

    I like how the spring rate is lower on the tein's. It would likely be comparable to what I currently have, but I also like how the BC's have adjustable dampers.

    I already have upgraded Whiteline sway bars and end links currently on the car as well.

    Any thoughts or advice? Thanks in advanced!

    Late reply but fwiw I’ve got my eye on the Tein set myself.. if you’re not in a rush I’ll let you know when i get them on my wagon - should be a month or so i hope!

    I ran more basic Tein coilovers (Street basis) on my old Honda hatchback and they’re still on the car (buddy owns it now) and they’re solid.. They make a good product. Just my two cents!
