My year review.
Decided to change the OEM suspension due to floaty feeling on bumps and at highway speeds. It just felt dangerous. One time, after hitting a pot hole while taking an on-ramp curb, I though I was going to loose it and jump to the woods. It was bad. So I went with Eibach/Koni combo.
Have had the Eibachs with Koni yellow for close to a year. Still like the setup. It is very daily drivable. Stiff enough to not feel floaty at highway speeds, yet not too bouncy like my old STI. Very comfortable for long trips. Very sporty look. Have had no rattles, squeaks, or noises coming from the suspension.
Changing over to non run flats has changed the feeling of the road completely too. Maybe its because its new rubber, or maybe because its softer sidewalls, but the ride is even more comfortable without loosing grip.
Suspension drop is quite good looking. Not good for snow though. Its low enough that the wheel wells get packed with snow, and sometimes the car will plow the road with the front bumper.
Next step, summer wheels
