    Ive pretty much decided on getting some Tein Basic coilovers soon. Anyone on here run these? I'd love to hear your input on them. I had these coilovers on my '00 Civic hatch a couple years ago and they were amazing. If they are anywhere near as amazing on the Subaru as they were on the civic I know ill be pretty pleased.

    Also, anyone else running other types of coilovers, let me know how you like them and if there is anything you dont like about them. By the way, my price range will be about $1300 or less. Thanks!

    For the price of Tein Basics, I've heard that Helix DNAs or Megan coilovers are better.

    I have Tein SSP's and they kick ass. I drive with them on 3 (out of 20) stiffness and they're still firm enough to get my heavy lil car around a corner just fine. In fact sways and rubber are the only thing holding me back from having a really great handling vehicle.
