    Got them in(Thanks Nathan) on Thursday. First impression: WOW! On a soft setting they are much softer than stock even with prodrive sprigs. They feel very soft and nice on a hwy, not bouncy at all even on 100S. I did not have them at full stiff or even close to full stiff, but five turns away from full stiff it is a totally different experience. There is no body roll at all and no nose dive. Adjustment is very easy, however the knob for adjusting is not built in. Its like a little key that you can put on your key chain. For extra 30 bucks you can order extensions that go permanently on the rear struts that will stick out the back of the seats so you dont have to take the seat out to adjust. The steering response and feedback is great as well.

    I recommend this to anyone who like it soft and hard.;)

    I've had these for the 04+ WRX for 2+ years now and it still is a great ride for street...Track hmmm...maybe something a little bit stiffer *even at the stiffest setting*

    5 clicks @ stiffest? hmmm...Isn't it a 12-16 way adjustable?

    You'll have to try my Koni's with 550/600 lb/in springs. :)

    Even that stiff it will still have body roll.

    I've installed these on a friends car and immediately regretted the fact that I bought AGXs instead.

    The Legacy might get a suspension upgrade later this year and I'm currently looking to get them in a GC fitting if possible.

    I highly recommend these to anyone looking for a nice adjustable suspension on their DD.
