got to agree with the above, have bc's on my 05 sti and really like them. our old integra dc5 had teins on and while the car handled well on them it was definitely a lot harder ride,much more of a thump into holes/ridges on the road which could unsettle the car.
i run my bc's at the mid point on the adjustability, 16 on the rear 14 on the front i think and find them fine on b roads (though that could be me) and still plenty of scope to soften them
and also mine have just come through their second winter with no signs af wear-better than subaru's struts can manage...
