The Raceseng plates are/were great, but not a good fit on OEM dampers in my opinion since they ate up some travel.

An option that's getting more popular these days is the Pedders front mounts,...

A lot of the negative feeling around pillowballs is due to noise from low quality bearings that wear out quickly (or just weren't great to begin with). The noise is annoying and also adds to a...

Okay gotcha.

I'm running the STI trailing arm combined with the MCA traction mod, this improved ride quality IMO. The rear wheel is a bit more "free" with the reduction in anti-squat and the...

I'd reset the endlink lengths (or better yet just get a new set of OEMs for cheap to use with this set up). Wouldn't worry too much about the roll center kit.

I like it. Is this last pic at ride height or in the air? How long are your endlinks? Is the middle setting on your rear bar about where the OEM bar hole is located?

In terms of valving yes it's a great match (the old RCE Tarmac springs with Bilsteins was a great combo on first gen). But 2nd gen springs on 1st gen rear dampers isn't a perfect fit.

We went a little bit stiffer than before because the dampers can take it. :)
The stiffer chassis structure is also a motivation (less flex from body means more displacement in dampers/springs).

Honestly I got my car with about 5k miles on it and I think the previous owner did the MTEC clutch spring (and the rest of the car was 100% stock which is odd). So it feels fine to me!
