but do you honestly think you will if you have these though?  Or one day will you say to yourself "It'll be okay just this once, it's pretty smooth in that spot over there"
Yeah, that and your hobby (Mountain Biking) would seem to put you on dirt roads pretty regularly.  That's the way it is up here in VT at least.

We are going to talk you out of this if its the last thing we do! :2funny:

nahhhhh, I don't want to talk him out of it.  I've never spent so much time reading up on a product I have no plans of ever purchasing, at this point I really wanna see how it turns out LOL

I couldn't help myself.......

this isn't a personal slam, this is just a result of reading a couple dozen pages worth of coilover discussions on different forums over the past few days, and way too much time of being bored today  :crazy2:

p.s.
SOrry about the voices, it was supposed to be 2 different voices, but for some reason it changed the second character to the same voice when it was rendered and I can't change it without buying points  :x

I think that'll be the better choice...for the previously mentioned reasons, not the wiseass cartoons reasons lol

 like I said earlier, I'm going to check out the ISC's, I hear good things about them, Import Image gave me a sweet deal on them, and they have a wide range of applications....check into it, they may have a set specific for your car already  :mrgreen:

 :evil: thank you, thank you


Trev: ISC has a set for 95-03 Imprezas...I wonder if there's any major difference between 93 and 95?  It's part #S001
http://www.isc-performance.com/coilovers.html

Same with Megan Racing, Impreza 95-01 Part #MR-CDK-SI95
http://www.meganracing.com/product.asp?prodid=107&catid=31

The only ones BC Racing makes for anything that old is for older Legacy models, they only make for Iprezas 97+

Hope that helps  :mrgreen:

Wouldent a set of koni's and gc sleeves have less travel when slamed then a set of bc's. Bcs are independent height adjustable and gc not correct.

Maybe, but if you are buying GC's you usually are not buying them to make your car handle worse, ie slamming the car.  BC's are a toss up in this area.  This is basic logic I guess...
