AST............but check the spring rate as i believe the early ones have slightly too hard set-up (don't do AST just what i believe)

however much your prepared to pay for them :-D ,
i would say dont bother as you cant use the cars potential on the road anyway, if you dont intend on using it on track like you say, i found the sti red shocks and eibach springs pretty good on the road (and track) when i had them fitted to my old impreza.
Small one's are more juicy

found these on flebay

my struts were ok with the eibach springs fitted, there are plenty of other springs available , maybe worth a search on s/net to get a general idea of peoples opinions in springs, ( if that means much on there :lol: )
