I’m loving it. My car is primarily a DD so I wanted road clearance for my awful local roads but still be lower than stock. I combined this setup with shorter bump stops to make my suspension travel essentially stock. I feel like the sti springs (mine are JDM) pair with the full length B6 struts/shocks very nicely because of its minimal 10-15mm drop. Very comfy, and I can actually go fast on a warped canyon road.
However they are progressive and on the softer side (about 175#f, 225#r). To take advantage of my 200tw tires I bought the 2017+ rear sway bar and a Perrin 19mm front bar. This feels very similar to my old RCE springs minus the squat and dip present with this current setup.
I still think I could run faster times with stiffer overall spring rates at the track, but I am 99% DD. In the future I will most likely go with RCE SS1 coilovers to avoid these fitment issues, hopefully keep a soft DD ride, while significantly reducing body roll.
