I had a very hard time getting any information on these Yellowspeed inverted coilovers and wanted to give a preliminary review. I'm also looking for anyone who has run these and can comment on durability/preferred settings.
Yellowspeed link for Subaru
Overall impressions are that they are very stiff at low speeds, you really have to push the car on gravel/ dirt to get the car to settle. I have 5k/4k springs on these, which are the softest you can get from Yellowspeed. They feel as stiff as my BC racing coilovers with 6k/5k springs. As soon as you are going fast enough, the car just starts soaking up everything and wants to hold a straight line, even after multiple 8-10" potholes in a row.
I got the 04 STI configuration, because I didn't want to have to lift my car 2" over stock and kill my axles. I am about stock height (can go another 1.5" up), and the on road performance is comparable to the BC's because of the amount of damping they have. I was lowered about 2.5" when I ran this setup.
I am running the following settings. These are clockwise turns from fully open (Counter clockwise) I think there are 32 clicks of adjustability, but I wanted the softest settings possible since this is my daily driver.
