Jolly Green Monster Posted July 5, 2008 Posted July 5, 2008 excellent! did you use the springs I gave you? if not I know where you can sell them on as I know someone that was begging for the ridiculasly low ride height they gave on my car.. I assume looking at it that you are on eibachs? Simon

Jolly Green Monster Posted July 5, 2008 Posted July 5, 2008 the springs that were on those shocks and my car were off an STi1 RA but no idea if they were the orignal but my car sat lower yes.. yours looks much more sensible.. Simon
pistonbroke2 Posted July 5, 2008 Posted July 5, 2008 the springs that were on those shocks and my car were off an STi1 RA but no idea if they were the orignal but my car sat lower yes.. yours looks much more sensible..Simon Were the springs chopped?
Jolly Green Monster Posted July 5, 2008 Posted July 5, 2008 Were the springs chopped? no.. basically the car had had a big side front impact and the guy sold me the springs and shocks off it.. one shock was dead (bent) and I removed the springs and binned the shocks..I had to angle grind one rear in half to get the spring off as they had sat outside and the top nut was solid They looked original but I dunno.. it was a long while ago and the car was damaged a long while before that and so the car was fairly young when damaged.. no need for spring compressor as the springs just dropped on and plenty of thread through to put the top nut on. Simon
fudge Posted July 5, 2008 Posted July 5, 2008 Nice one Daz. You should be able to tell a big difference around the bends,, tried it yet?? So you can now tell ya mrs yours is a lot stiffer now.!
granby Posted July 5, 2008 Posted July 5, 2008 yes mate braking is more positive an so is accelarating but not sure about cornering yet has not been round many bends lol Get going round them corners now
dazzlers82 Posted July 5, 2008 Author Posted July 5, 2008 ok ok ive been up southend tonight an been taking on some bends feels a lot better but it is still stepping out at the rear as though its rear wheel drive lol think its more to do with the diff though

Jolly Green Monster Posted July 5, 2008 Posted July 5, 2008 what diffs front and back and what anti-roll bars? is it stepping when on the power or just stepping? if under power then could be handling issue or diff, if all the time then handling issue.. stiffer rear antiroll bar than front makes it more tail happy, usual is to leave front standard and fit a 22mm rear has it been aligned since fitment of suspension? Simon

Simon has plated diffs mate an yes have a whiteline adj rear roll bar an no not had it set up yet an it steps out when on the power
luke_clifton Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 My car is similar, it will always oversteer on corners. Subaru's are legendary for there understeer, though i've never experianced it with mine.
Jolly Green Monster Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 has plated diffs mate an yes have a whiteline adj rear roll bar an no not had it set up yet an it steps out when on the power what diffs? I run a plated rear, open front and dccd centre on open setting... tail happy if I want it.. Simon
