Big B

Not at all. I look for a more agile car with less body roll

Where did you buy them ? Any serial number

If the struts i bought are not the good ones (they came from kayaba) have you another brand for them ?

Hi everyone.

 

I did some upgrades on my 04' 3.0R sedan 2 weeks ago.

 

I changed all the OEM shocks for 4 Bilstein B6. Added to the shocks I bought new front and rear strutmount.

I did not change the springs.

 

After 4 days, chassis setting was done.

 

But i checked the weel arch height (from the wheel's center to the lowest point of the wheel arch) and got the following results :

 

Front : 400mm instead of 378 (tolerance +/- 12mm)

Rear : 350mm instead of 360 (tolerance +/- 12mm)

 

Added to the height, front shocks are as hard as hell.

 

Is that normal ? What did i do wrong ?

Will the front stay like this or not even after weeks of rides ?

Will the ride quality change ?

 

Any solution to fix that small issue

 

Thanks for your advices and sorry for my so bad english

For sure new brakes are a huge step forward compare to the OEM

 

Got a little issue with the front height and looking to fix that. did anyone had the same problem ? What will be the solution ?

Comment est la conduite avec les rear sway bar? et les bilstein, B6 ou B9?

 

bonjour,

 

la voiture vient d’être réglée au niveau du châssis et il manque encore la barre avant pour pouvoir vraiment comparer mais c'est bien mieux c'est sur, beaucoup moins de roulis en courbes.

 

Les amortisseurs sont des Bilstein B6 (comme ceux de la SpecB) ... le top du top pour du confort et de la précision en même temps.

merci beaucoup!

si tu as besoin de pieces je serais la l ete prochain .

 

Je t'envoies un mp tu me diras tes dates et la où tu seras.

assez rare de voir ca en France une subaru modifie ! ou une subaru tout court:lol:

 

Il n'y a que 63 sedan avec le H6 et la boîte automatique actuellement en France.

 

J'ai vu les caches carbone que tu fabriques ... Ils sont magnifiques

still to do : front swaybar with links and radiator

yesterday was a busy day on my car with nearly all the work done ... see attached pics

 

Finally brakes are home ... one more step to go : the installation of all parts

 

Car looks Great! where abouts in France are you from? My wife is from there and will be back there in 6months or so

 

I just arrived near the german and swiss border in a town called montbeliard.

Tx man

guess it will be more agile on small roads around my town ...

hi a long time since i wrote something ...

Done some basic maintenance on my baby (front axle boot)

 

BUT parts are coming home so mods are on their way !!

 

Here are the pics

A new radiator

A full set of brakes lines

Front and rear Sway bar with links

New dry air filter

New front and rear shocks

New front and rear strut mount

 

Rotors and pads are missing but already ordered (Stoptech for both)

 

I'm sure my handling and braking will be better than OEM but ...

will a Master Cylinder Brace (grimmspeed) will change anything else ?

What about a front and rear strut bar ?

 

Tx for helping me

Looking good.

 

Do you have an interior shot of the dash and center console? The EDM only version? :-)

 

It seems EDM and JDM are pretty the same except for RHD/LHD

Here it is.

Here is my baby : 2004 3.0R EDM Legacy called the Nono's mobile.

 

100k miles on the clock, very good shape everywhere for a 15 years old car.

Obsidian black/creme leather as i wanted to.

Better sound with the catback exhaust.

 

Will update this post with the upgrades

Stay tune
