^^Thank for the input. I talked to Koni and they're sending replacement parts. Wonder why my kit came with something different than the rubber boots?

Quick question about my install.......

 

My front insert kit didn't come with the rubber sleeve that is shown in the tutorial. Instead it has a metal sleeve that doesn't fit over the top of the donor strut body. I assume I can install the insert into the strut body without the rubber or metal sleeve. Can anyone confirm?

Hey all, although I'm a veteran on Nasioc, I'm new here. I've been put in charge of upgrades on my dad's '08 SpecB, so I'll be poking around here. If you're interested, check my WRX build thread -> http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1862152

 

Ok so my dad's SpecB has 95k+ on his car and is ready for a suspension upgrade. The stock SpecB suspension is really mushy and my dad HATES the squat whenever you get on the throttle. That being said, he doesn't track/auto-x the car and still wants a smooth cruiser and wants to retain as close to stock ride height as possible.

 

I've spent a bit searching around to see what's available. For some reason I remember reading that stock LGT suspension is slightly stiffer than SpecB, but I'm not 100% on that. Is that true? Even so, it probably would still be a bit mushy. I've ended up coming back to looking at a set of Epic springs as the right choice, possibly paired with KYB GR-2. Any thoughts on this setup?
