raised springs

Post by twilightprotege » Tue Mar 10, 2009 2:05 pm

on my RX, what's the most you can increase the height of the springs without getting in to shock or cv trouble? inch? 2? 3?

i'm trying to get the body of the car higher without going more than my current 2" lift kit

The rear you can get away with 30mm.
The front is only about 25mm.

The only problem with suspension lift in Subaru's is it limits down travel.

so even with the aurora (industrial springs) ones that are inch and a half raised (and some 300lb/ft spring rate), they are too tall?

For the front - Yes.
Rear - you could getaway with it...
