I'm on GC website, but I can't find anything specific to the SVX... what's the procedure for figuring out what's needed? Do the fellas over there know enough to figure out what I need, or will I have to get some stock SVX struts and take a bunch of measurements?

As far as the rates go. People are running 380F/325R on the Koni/GC setup. I just found that the stock spring rates are 140F/110R... which is rediculously soft! So now I'm wondering if the stock struts will be able to damper the 250F/215R rates I was leaning towards.

It looks like the two available dampers out there (stock & Koni) are too far apart to handle what I'm looking to do... it's a shame KYB doesn't make an AGX for my car. I wonder how hard it is to swap over to WRX knuckles? Then I'd be able to make some WRX suspension bits work, and share wheels w/ my other car. Plus I already got a set of rear WRX knuckels lying around at S-Squared from the WRX tranny swap.
