Honestly just happy to be home in one piece. Never been happy to get out of the car before tonight. Whew!

Spat on your car?? While you were driving along? That's crazy!...

Turning left from Burrard onto Nelson, dude wasn't happy with my having the right of way, tried to spit through my partly-open window but missed, mercifully. Charming.

What?!? Really?

This is why I keep a collapsible shovel in my car and a dashcam.

Also a good reason why I limit my drive time DT

Head off to the Suspension sub-forum and read everything posted by Racecomp Engineering, if you want to learn about handling. Spring rates are much more complicated than just comparing numbers between cars, since relative weight, leverage and mounting angle all affect the final 'wheel rate' which derives from the spring's coil rate (the commonly quoted 'spring rate'). RCE has been very helpful on the forum for suspension matters.

Durability/Cost/Performance-wise it's looking like KW's are the way to go. Locally Dale's Alignment in Langley is a dealer, and well known in the Subaru community. Also they are an alignment shop, (hint, hint) so if you pick up online instead, they can be a good install choice.

welcome to the forum...

You can never go wrong with KW coilovers however this car is so new I'm not sure if you want to spend money yet on aftermarket parts. I went to SEMA this year & after seeing what was available I'd say try to wait it out & save up for some good quality stuff.

thanks for the help guys

Dale's is known to all car guys haha great place

KWs got no top hats tho soo sad If you want prime coilovers you can always throw out 3.5K and get some Ohlin's!

However I agree with Shimmyshake. The market is going to be flooded with parts soon and once more stuff comes to market the pricing should lower as well
