Hey Everyone,

We have developed and tested an awesome damper upgrade package for the 2008+ WRX. This kit comes with monotube rear shocks and monotube front inserts. You can install the kit yourself, or we can install the insert/spring seat into your shocks free of charge. Here is the development thread including installation info: http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2235888

Each kit is valved for the springs you choose to use and the type of driving you will be doing. GRAVEL VALVING AVAILABLE! Wanna use King Springs? No problem, we can valve the kit for gravel + King Springs.

Gotta say I love these. My stock 08 suspension sucks...too soft, lots of body movement in cornering and hard braking. While it was a pleasant ride on the streets, any kind of spirited driving left something to be desired. In cornering it was floaty and there was not much feedback from the road. In the dirt they did good though, but maybe still too soft and I bottomed out quite a bit.

I have these with King Springs on them. While I haven't gotten them dirty I did attack a speed bump or two and these took them like a champ. With the Kings, it did lift the car a bit and they are a stiffer so I don't think I will be bottoming out as easily. The ride is very nice, firmer but by no means harsh. There isn't nearly as much body roll in cornering and pitch during braking and accelerating. I have more feed back from the road and in my steering, took away a lot of the numbness that you get with the stock stuff. I am very happy with these.

You can look in my journal for more pics, but here is a side view of my car with these and some King Springs. And yes, I know I need new rims, already working on getting some TD's.
