This is my hybrid coilover setup for 2005+ STI's. The front struts are custom-built to order by Ground Control. The rear struts are Koni inserts in WRX housings with Ground Control coilover sleeves. You can see I left the stock rear spring perches in place so that I could switch back to the stock rear springs during the winter and still run the awesome Koni struts back there.
My chosen springs for the coilovers were 315lb/in, 9" long fronts and 250lb/in, 8" long rears. I also have two sets of 350lb/in 7" long springs that I'll include. You'll need the shorter springs if you'd like to lower the car much and the firmer rear springs will help the car rotate. Mix-and-match as you please, there are lots of options here!
Since I work from home, the front coilovers have less than a thousand miles on them. They're practically brand new. The rears have been on my car a bit longer and probably have 5000 miles. All Koni and Ground Control products come with a lifetime warranty and are pretty good about honoring it.
The rear tophats aren't included, sorry. I forgot to take them off prior to the picture.
I autocrossed on this setup just once and had the fastest time on street tires. I was happy with the setup, but I'm going to be evaluating a new coilover package soon and need to make room (and funds). If not for this opportunity, I would be happily continuing to use these coilovers.
I'm looking for $1200 for everything or $1100 with your choice of four springs. I'll include two Koni adjustment knobs and a spanner wrench. Everything has a lifetime warranty and is made from competition-level parts.
PayPal OK, local pickup OK. Thank you for looking.

I have a dyno of the valving here:

The rear struts are 8610's and thus are purely hydrolic. I found a dyno for these online, too:

Ground Control makes a full custom-valved coilover strut for the rear, too, but my 8610's in WRX housings have more adjustability in the valving. This combination that I've put together will work with nearly any rate spring you'd realistically want to run.
