Pretty much Koni's and Ground Control or a couple people sell spec springs to your needs on the board.
I'm hoping to find out if the WRX set up is adaptable in the next week or so.

None of the other Subaru struts are easily adapted to the SVX. The SVX has a very beefy suspension knuckle that has a wider strut-to-knuckle flange than other Subaru suspensions. The bolt pattern for the top mount is also different on the SVX. Length may be different too.
Koni/GC is the highest performance option. I sell sport strut springs that work with the stock struts or the Koni strut inserts. I can spec them to be up to 40% stiffer than stock, and any reasonable ride height that you want. Check out the link in my signature for more info.

If you guys are serious about racing at that level, I can deeply discount a set of springs, but I think that my strut springs are not stiff enough for your needs. All of the road racing machines that I've read about (not SVX) have spring rates that are in the range 300-500 lbs/in. Just out of curiosity, what is it about the Koni inserts that you do not like?

Don't get me wrong, the Koni inserts aren't bad but when you can go all out in our class with totally adjustable set ups they just don't measure up. Its more about a viable future set up at the moment. Til then we'll continue killing stock struts every couple of months.
