just go to Oaktown and get it monster-trucked, you can fit any $5000 wheel you want. It only weighs 57 lbs each w/o tire.

 

LOL

 

I think im finally getting my tax back... The ****ers finally realized how thick they were!!!!!! So if you were me and you around $900 to spend what would you recommened for my car...... ? I have so many things which i wanna do but cant really decide which would be best.............. Thanks

 

* uppipe(or gut your stocker)
* Hallman RX MBC
* Cobb AP
* protune from Ed @ EQ

That will give you a nice upgrade in power. Better spool up, better top end, and plenty of power for some serious fun.

 

hey tom dont forget the rear swaybars besides doing springs

 

Yeah i know. I was thinking of getting, Suspension, Rear Sway Bar. Helix Downpipe and a front lip. Just dont know, or i could get the Acessport and pro tune or i could save up a little and get the turbo upgrade from gruppe -s ... Confuzed as f uck. Anyway im open to suggestions..... As you know im pretty new and naive!!

 

Yeah dude its everything, struts, springs and tophats, all Stock STi....from what i hear its 50% stiffer than ours.....i'll probably just bring a strut or 2 instead of eeeverything....the hats look exactly like ours just harder rubber the springs look the same as well....oh and the smell is about the same with my car too, its only sometimes....strange...oh well....

 

How much of a ball ache do you recon it will be to put them on ? ? ? Is it possible to do em yourself without too much hassel ? ? ? Seriously interested like.

 

that would be a question for Ray, he's done his a couple times from what i remember....

 

Whos thinking of heading out tonight ? ?

 

if it is the entire strut/spring/top mount assembly, then it is cake and can be done in about an hour.

i'm down to help install.

 

Ill stop by and watch, if im in the area. Anytime to look at a naked subaru is a good time for me.

 

don't forget to get an alignment (=

 

it's really not that difficult.

2 bolts each wheel. pop the brake line bolts off. 4 bolts on top front and rear. Dunk and they're out. reverse it and they go back in.

I wouldn't say an hour...I mean with power tools and absolutely no hicups or beers it can be done that fast but I'd say reality. 2 hours 2 guys.

definately get an alignment.

If you want my rec for alignment....hmmm....I'd say something like -1.3 up front and -1 in the back should be pretty balance and not to snappy..huge improvement over stock and you should be able to reach that on all the stock and sti swap parts pretty easily.

I run that on my wagon currently and it's cool.

With my next swap over I'm going more like -1.8 and -1.3.

adjust oversteer via adjustable rear sway bar.



the sti swap over is a good move for the dollars if you ask me. You will still have more gap in the front wheel well than the rear...that's how subaru suspension is engineered.....it's suppose to be that way. If you want a dead on drop you need coil overs or different springs that are designed to give you a dead on drop.



I got a nibble on my spec C stuff but I am still not sure if I'm gonna sell it or not.

Might just sell my camber plates, and springs. Figure I can get like....$225 for that pretty easily.....


I'm not sure when I will be available to help but let me know if you go through with it and if I can make it I'd be glad to help....other was Drama is more than capable to help.

 

I have done my own springs 3 times, and about 5 sets of springs for friends.
Having the complete assembly already done will make it a lot easier.
The only power tool I have is an electric impact gun. it makes it quick to remove/install the wheels. and if the car is on jack stands off the ground, all 4 wheels come off quick.

I am out this weekend and monday, back tuesday. Going to yosemite. Once I am back I could help out. Maybe after the autocross the following saturday(28th)?
