btw, there is a huge section on this topic on Nasioc, if you're looking for a "broad" consensus from WRX owners.

Konis really are the easy button. And you can adjust them if you want a little more trackworthiness in the future. There is also a Tokico option that's not bad---we're going to try a set of those on Tom's WRX.

Koni/Bilstein is usually always a pretty good solution.

Koni's work fine, though I do have kyb gr2's on the back of my wrx wagon. Seem to work fine, lost one and they warrantied the replacement.

I think the critical thing to do is the tophats, go with the group N mounts if you can swing it. Makes a world of difference regardless of the strut used.

There's a Whiteline front strut mount that adds some camber and is molded with the Group N rubber. That's what I'm going to use on the rallycross impreza. Gets me camber w/o using camber bolts that slip.

For those trying to look it up, it's known as the "Com-C" top hat, and in addition to adding some camber, it also adds some badly -needed caster.

I am patiently waiting for it to come out for the new chassis (08+) wrx's so I can pair it with my new Bilsteins + 330lb springs :)
