From my experience with it so far, it's exactly what I've been looking for. :D

Can handle the big bumps, but still be comfortable on the street - and I'll find out about autox ability this weekend - and track ability at VIR Patriot. But from playing around on the way to work this morning, it looks like it's going to work pretty well on the paved stuff. 8)

I think it's a fantastic step forward for the rallycross program that someone is seriously tuning their car for this sport.

Cheers Kevin for upping the ante, and here's hoping to seeing more positive developments like this in the future. :)

My Legacy just might get some semi-serious rallycross bits after the WRX gets sold. I'm much more motivated for rally (and track time) than autocross now and for the forseeable future.

If we're able to find some gravel or more solid dirt sites I'll definitely get a real rally suspension. With the randomness of the sand courses it's just not worth it to me to be autocross-level retentive about setup and prep.

I'm looking forward to playing around with these - should be pretty fun, even if I get beat by a Plymouth Laser with the stock suspension on it. :wink:

This is also an investment in my future racing plans - eventually I'll be doing what you're doing, and these are made for it. Tough, rebuildable, revalvable, and should last a while from what I hear. Once I get enough experience with rallycross, I can put these on a rally car (or maybe turn the blue car into one at that point) and go hit some trees! :lol:

Kevin - if you want semi-serious, the springs & top mounts I have with some AGXes would be great. I never had any problems with that setup when I was using it, and I used it pretty hard. Struts still worked great when I sold them after a year of autox, track & rallyx use.
