Shock data's gonna be useless for me, since I don't understand it, nor do I have the info for the car's current setup to compare it too, even if I learned more about it.
Basically, I've read about 2000 reviews of all the different options for the WRX and talked to a bunch of people that have run several different setups. The design of the JICs (50mm, inverted mono tube) is the same as the top of the line race struts, so they're a great platform to build on. The rates/valving I'm getting have been optimized by JIC for the WRX to provide track capable suspension w/o being too brutal on the street. (Now, I'm not kidding myself, I expect these to be retardly uncomfortable on long trips, but it's a necessary evil if I'm gonna compete in SM). However, for like $200 I can always revalve, and most 2.5" springs will fit on these struts so I'm not locked into the more expensive springs from JIC. The best that I can tell these will be damn good from the factory for what I'm looking for, and if they're not it won't be outragiously expensive to tweak them once I have a baseline idea of what I need for SM.
