Bumping this thread!

Updates (April 2015):

-Added Whiteline roll center kit
-BBS wheels, nitto invo (street)
-OEM wheels + Toyo R888 (track)

So I have had these coilovers for quite some time now and have gone through a variety of usage. Let me begin by saying that they STILL impress me and anybody who has sat in my ride. There is absolutely no increase in noise, harness or vibration. The only issue I have is the ride height. I sit quite low with less than an iphone 5 at the front lip and almost no finger gap between the tire and fender (front and back). As a result, I'm scraping at most parking lot entrances, which are ridiculously steep here in town. Other than that, I have no complaints from daily usage.

As some of you might have seen from my recent thread, I took my STi to the track twice in the last 4 months. Let me tell you again, these coilovers are SICK! They offer plenty of balance on the track. No nose diving when braking, no bounce running over the apex curb, no body-roll, no nothing! For an recreational driver like myself, the RCE T-Zero just ticks all the right boxes. I didn't have to worry about adjusting this and that on the track, so I could focus on having fun. Perhaps one day I will want the extra features when I need squeeze that 1/100th of a second off my lap time. But until then, I'm good with the T-Zero.

I have had a chance to ride in my buddies 2013 STi sedan with Ohlins DFV. Now those are definitely something special. He took me thru a few corners on some mountain roads and boy it's like better RCE ride quality + extra firmness. Just my initial impression though. If I get a chance to drive it later I can have better comparison.

I highly recommend these to anyone who is on the fence about the RCE T-Zero and is lazy like me.


Cheers!
