too bad these aren't offered for our subes.

Air shocks are better, and you don't want firm for the trail - you want soft to conform to the terrain. All wheels down gives max traction. Too firm and you'll have two up all the time.

True... that's what happens with my GTI when I take it off road (doesn't everyone take their VW GTI offroad?). It'll lift wheels up (hopefully not the front... cause then it stops :)

 

But... too soft can also be bad offroad, at higher speeds, because you start bottoming out going over bumps. This is what the legacies seem to do more than the GL's... either they are softer, or heavier, so they tend to have problems bottoming out if you go over bumps too fast. If you've ever ridden in an old landrover... they have really really hard suspension, and do okay. Parabolic springs there do increase both the ride and the travel compared to stock.
