They have arrived from Germany. Will be fitted tomorrow, I will give my full report afterwards. My report probably won't help much though, coz I have nothing to compare it to apart from stock. I know many of the US legacy owners have changed from Tein Flex to these mainly because they provide a less harsh ride (softer springs and reuses standard top hats), great handling (some said it was better handling than the Flex..), Inox stainless steel coating to prevent rusting and better matched valving. Whereas Tein Flex offers Pre-Load adjustment, the EDFC, Tein top hats which is also awesome.

So either way both are great suspensions and as the Phat Man knows I went through head aches through choosing this. In the end my decision was based on the daily driven aspect of this suspension, german built high quality suspension and the many raves on the legacygt forum. Looking forward to the ride tomorrow.

If you are interested in this suspension. The RRP for these are $2635 inc. GST. Talk to the Australia dealer and he might be able to do you a better deal. Their web site is http://www.inmotive.com.au/.

Here are also some reviews, to save research time -

Really happy with them. Huge improvement over my previous set up with Kmac springs, with the ride being a lot more comfortable and every bump is being absorbed nicely even on my 20s. Compared to standard, all floatiness does not exist now with the car feeling firm and stable around corners and the way the suspension goes over bumps feels pretty much like the bilsteins on the 3.0r-b, slightly firmer than standard. Even better is that with these changes, my car is now even lower at the front. Looks great. Highly recommended to anyone after a low comfortable ride.
