I've had a few differant sets of coilovers on my Imperza's. The Tein's were the best so far! I didn't really get a chance to get them properly tried out though!! sold the car before I got the chance to try them on track The first set I tried were AVO's (NOT RECOMMENDED) leaked from day one and had a couple replaced under warranty. The last straw was when one snapped in half just at the top of the threads that adjust the ride height!! Could've been very nasty if traveling at speed!!! They were however very well set up (damping etc) and very good on both track and our local bumpy roads. These cost around £750 The second set were KW variant 3 these were very nice to look at lol!! Not so well set up as the AVO's but did have rebound and compression damping which I could have probably had someone who knew there stuff to set them up properly and make them perfect. These were pretty good on track but a wee bit harsh on the local roads. These cost around £1000 Then the Tein's I went for them because I wanted to try something differant and liked the idea of the EDFC. I fitted these without the EDFC motors connected for a start and the were ok, maybe just a wee bit harsh. But still much better than the standard set up. Once the EDFC was connected a perfect setting could be found for any type of road surface. These cost around £1200 These would be my first choice if I was buying suspension again and would recomend them to anyone. I have to say though I did like the look of the APEX items on the scoobynet groupbuy. In between all this I tried various types of shock and spring combinations ie Bilstien/prodrive/sti etc but was never 100% satisfied with them

Nice I did think about them before I bought the Tein's but decided I liked the idea of the EDFC with the Tein's. If I didn't have so much stuff in my garage and it wasn't so cold or dark at nights now I would've gave you a hand to change them. Shouldn't take any longer than 90 minutes lol!

Just noticed this post since I've been away on Holiday! Hope you enjoy the car

I would so love to take the car for a few laps round there, but could do with a few more pony's under the bonnet

I bought my first Impreza from Brian ( going back about 7 years now ) and was very happy with the deal I got and he was very helpfull. I had a bit of an issue after the car went in for an MOT and service with him so I took it else where to get bits and pieces done after that. Went back in a few years later to look at other cars and basically he didn't want to know because I hadn't gone to him for the rest of the work on my car!! His loss in the end though!
