Spring /stance question L series?

Post by rerty » Mon Aug 23, 2010 11:49 am

I have an L series wagon, just put the crossbred kit in it along with wrx front struts and springs. The rear has standard shocks and springs, the front is lower than the back by a fair margin. Can I just put the 2" spacers from a lift kit under the towers to even out the stance or do i have to put the whole front end lift kit in there as well? I'll have a pic up this arvo to show you what is happening. Cheers:D

Just the strut top spacers will be fine.
You may need special ones to set the camber where you want it?
But the wrx hub does have adjustable camber so you should be ok as long as you are within the limits.

1. that car is uber friggin awesomely sexy.

2. yes you can chuck the spacers in, but it will increase your cv angle causing premature destruction.

Thanks for the compliments!:-D
So would be better of with the whole front lift kit in and maybe leave out the rear?
I have some lowered rear springs, might just throw them in again for now, looks super sexy down low all the way round!:mrgreen:

If it's a road car I'd be tackling the problem by lowering the rear.

if you want to lift the front a 2" lift looks like it would be too much. The lift from some forester or outback struts would be about right.

awesome looking car BTW...

Yeah Deano.. Low is the go :cool: Put those rears in and post up another pics. I have some spare rears if you want to have some as standards and some as lows? then it's just an easy swap out.. can do the same for the fronts with some Forry struts too (just f**ks up your alignment but mark the adjusting bolts with paint and you'll be close enough) for when you take off the black top :)

Try going to the Contact section. It has a window right in the middle for you to contact him via email, and Facebook details, and his mobile number.

It is pretty ballsy looking isn't it? Imagine if a wheel maker like Rod Jane made a few WRX look in 4 stud 15 and sixteens !!
