I'm on Nastysock too. Found a couple, but no one wants to ship. "It'd cost too much" they say. I'm going to the junkyard to find one soon I guess.

With the auto and staying out of boost I got 28mpg with my current tune. But 22-24 is more realistic.

The coilovers won't add any ride height. On maximum ride height I will loss about 1.5 inches from the factory struts/springs.

You getting camber plates too?

Not at the moment. From what I understand the coilovers are design to work with the factory top hats. I am doing rear subframe inserts during the coilover install which the guys over at Mann Engineering recommended.

Went to the strip this weekend. Only got to run 2 times, this was my 2nd run. I'm on the right. Car on the left was a 5 or 6 speed legacy gt running a vf series turbo like me. He had me until the 1000' at the very end. Very close run, not bad for a small suv with an auto. I didn't brake boost, just rolled off the line.

My first run was agaist a current gen sti which ran 14.3. People didn't seem to happy losing an suv

Dude I hate that Photobucket is down. My Subie was tuned to 232/248 at Equilibrium Tuning, Inc. on @Vadim 's tactrix cable. Ed is the guy there and that's apparently Mustang Dyno number. He printed out a DynoJet number 272/290 and said 'believe what you want its pretty quick' /nuffsaid
