Default JDM STi coilovers

Anyone using these on a MY05?
I know there where some changes on the supension on the MY05 vs. the MY04. But they are listed under MY05 on japanparts site, so i guess they will fit.
Are these a good option?
Norwegian roads are much like japanese roads, if you take the bumps and potholes out of the ecuation.

These are also much cheaper than other alternativs i have.
Was wondering about the type25 susp, but that is out of the question since i can get the ohlins road and track for almost the same price. And the STi coilovers are almost half the price of the ohlins, and extra cash will be used for more mods
Anyone have some better alternativs(They need to be height adju, and stiffnes adju. bc. of winter driving)? Sti coilovers will be around $2700 and Ohlins will cost me around $4300, so they need to be in that pricerange.

I don't care about comfort, if i'd want it comfortable i would have bought a different car!

those wont be terribly stiff considering their spring rates are somewhat low.

but they would be good for daily driving.

But the stock suspension is terribly stiff (and lousy for a daily driver) despite low spring rates.
