Did my install this past Friday night. Going in for alignment tomorrow.
Stock stock by giuseppe.diflumeri, on Flickr Today after settling a bit lower by giuseppe.diflumeri, on Flickr I know this isn't the best comparison and my driveway isn't level, but it's all I got, crappy cell pics lol. |

Hi G-Sep, what spring rates do you have? How's the ride?

I have the standard 8k/8k setup. I have them set the same way they came out of the box. Didn't touch the height at all. Dampening is set to 15 clicks out of 30,so right in the middle.
The ride is stiffer than stock but not uncomfortable. There's is definitely more road feedback. I've put about 40 miles on it so far. I was careful with the install and my alignment isn't too off. Tomorrow I'll have them do the alignment and also even out my height all around. |

Trying to decide between these and KW V1. Lots of positive feedback for these it seems.

Didn't realize how tired I was and slept right through my alignment appointment. 8am about 45 min away from where I live. So getting aligned on Thursday afternoon. Put a few more miles on it today though, met my first speed bump, went well.

Enjoy the weight savings! The stock fronts are considerably more heavy than the Feals. Unless I just got stronger taking the stock ones out

As the days go by I get happier and happier with this suspension. Car feels so planted now. After a bump the suspension just cycles and then that's it, no drama whatsoever. I'm going to crank up the stiffness and go carve some back country roads this weekend.

Do you have a Go-Pro? If so take a video for us (I know we won't see the suspension travel and such but we can see you having fun on back country roads) |

Just spoke to Feal yesterday. The monotubes are back ordered till early next month.
I told them not to cancel my order. But I hope they come in before OCAWD. |

My suspension came in today. Will post pics and a short review once I put some miles on them. To say I'm excited would be an under statement.

So, what's the max amount of camber the 08-10 wrx can get with these? I have the old version which was limited in camber IIRC.
Reason I ask is that I may be getting some 18x9.5 +40 wheels and would like them to sit as flush to the top of the fender as possible. Will this be possible with the limited camber on the narrow body wrx? TIA |
