OK silly question. How much better are the Koni shocks over stock? I know it helps to be able to dial in the rebound front/rear. But just how much stiffer can you make them than stock?

It's not just about being able to make them stiffer, it's about being able to adjust them to meet the conditions/lot you are on. For instance, if you say went full stiff on the rebound on a super bumpy surface the suspension can end up "jacking down." |

Adjusting rebound lets you control how long that corner "sticks". High rebound, the corner will stay down longer.
It may seem stiff because the shock stays compressed longer, so when you hit a bump the shock may not fully extend to "catch" the car and absorb the landing of the bump. (hope that makes sense?) The benefit is that you can change how the car behaves when in transitions and when weight is shifted. For example if you make rebound in the front higher, you can get the nose to stay down longer. This could help in the entry to a turnaround, for example. After you brake and transfer weight to the front, the higher rebound could keep that weight on the front tires longer and allow the front tires to really grip and get the car turned. |

Is anyone running the 17x7 +42 Buddy Club P1 SF challenge? They are a little cheaper than RPF1's but a little heavier but still lighter than stock?
How do they hold up to autocross? Where's the best place to buy these? Or should I just go with the trusty RPF1's? |

I've used them for about 1.5 seasons. Good wheel. A bit heavier but a good deal cheaper!

I like them because I don't have to run spacers like I do with my Koseis. |

What lug nuts are you guys using with Kosei and 3mm spacers? I had some inside spine ones that were a little... iffy... and they eventually cost me a stud. My regular lugs from the DD wheels won't seat well with the Koseis.

I'm running Muteki lugs with 5mm spacers. I ditched the stock studs for ARPs a couple years ago.

Ive got mutegi open ended lugs, I went through about 10 studs on my wrx with the stock lugs and switched to arp w/ mutegi before selling it.

I know my days of zero problems are numbered, but I'm very pleased with how the Gorilla lugs and stock studs have held out for me after numerous tire changes and autocrossing this car for 2.5 years. |
