same, but I don't know if they still have that set for sale. if not, you can get koni struts for the svx from Monster Garage???? <--- I think that's right and you can get the springs from Ground Control.

I hear Mychalio has some pretty good springs as well.

Subaru of Gwinnett actually ordered the Ground Controls when I called. They didn't stock them. They also sold me the Koni's. They got the Koni's from Classic Garage (as does everyone else).

I've got mine as low as they will go and still ride level. Prices haven't changed much. USD$1050 I believe the cost to be plus shipping.

No they are not the same as Dayle's.

The Ground Controls are the only adjustable springs for the SVX.

I adjust mine by height from the ground to the top of the fender/wheel arch. I keep both sides level.

Just call Subaru of Gwinnett and ask them if they can still get the Ground Control coilovers for the SVX.

You don't have to remove the tires to adjust but you do have to jack it up.

There is a hex bolt that you tighten to keep the springs at the proper height.
