Hmmm...I had HSD's on my WRX and did not like them. No matter what I did with the damping, the ride sucked and handled like crap. The front was underdamped and the rear was overdamped. The adjustment didn't do squat. I really understood just how bad they were when I ponied up for a set of AST 4100's custom valved by TiC for crappy American roads. The AST's absolutely slay the HSD's in ride quality, braking and cornering. Yes, braking. I don't know how important that is to you, but when your ABS is engaging over rough road because the HSD's can't keep your tires on the road and the car isn't slowing down I think you'll come to realize you could've made a better choice in dampers.
