Cusco is great, same with Whiteline. Cant go wrong with either. Did you get the heavy duty mounts as well?

Just the mounts that come with it. Going to stick with the stock links for now and upgrade later of I feel I need them

Brilliant really. The stance is nice and even again between front and rear and the ride is so much smoother than the RS-R springs. I think the only conclusion I can draw from this is that Subaru might actually know what they are doing when it comes to setting up their suspension. Albeit a bit high on ride height.
The car has a bit more understeer with this setup, but my new Cusco rear sway bar just arrived so that should dial that out nicely. I'll get some pics this week at some point.
This sounds like great news. Good to hear. When you say they compress the top, do you mean they reheat and reset the top of the coil only? or do they fix it some other way?
I really want my ride quality back.
