magnusonsubie Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 My rear bump stops are still in place and I don't feel like I'm hitting them constantly. The coils are very stiff though. 2005 Vader Wagon Material Tests on Ringland Failure Piston I should have held off and purchased a wagon instead of the spec.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legacybt Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Car looks super good! Question for both of you, you guys are pretty low: you remove the bump stops in the rear or is the suspension just on the stiffer side? I still need to raise the rear a little as it's a lower than the front but it feels like its hitting the rear bump stops way too frequently at this height If you remove the bump stops you will either hit the chassis with the upper lateral suspension arm or bottom out the strut valving and ruin the rear shocks. Don't remove them. They are there for a reason. If you want to go that low and not hit your bump stops, increase your spring rate and damping - at the expense of ride quality.

rizzors25 Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Alright good to know. I think my coils are set a bit on the softer side so I'll play with that first. I also needed to raise the rear so we'll see what thats like soon here. The car really isn't that low imo I think just too soft for the height. someday I'll get a new camera here http://i.imgur.com/FWCUIm3.jpg http://i.imgur.com/qC3AZ0B.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magnusonsubie Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Is anyone still making a wing for the wagon? Can't seem to find the Mach V wing anywhere MachV is discontinued. Liberal is identical and still available through japanparts.com as are a few other wings. But the Liberal/MachV is my personal favorite 2005 Vader Wagon Material Tests on Ringland Failure Piston I should have held off and purchased a wagon instead of the spec.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's meant for a 06 wrx but I thought I would try it out. Personally, I don't like the look anymore but other people seem to like it. I'll get a pic of the front soon.

derp Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 MERRY DERPMAS XMAS CAR UPDATE FOR ALL! Installed JDM brake lights, and started in on the two tone interior combining the black from the old car with the tan that came in this one. Grabbed the center stack, and took apart the counter consoles and combined them into this sexy thang. Before: http://i.imgur.com/LC1Z99Z.jpg After: http://i.imgur.com/J6FyDpk.jpg Brake lights!

I have 18x8s and want 18x9s. But offset is everything. I'll need to have some more fender cut/pulled/rolled to fit 9s with the same offset (+40) I have know with 8s. If you want to go big and low, you need a fitment guy your corner helping you out. pic thread build thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxkita Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 (edited) Anyone tell me if / how to get a set of 18x9s on my'05? Aodhan LS002 18x9 ANY insight help advice is welcome Thanks ! I'm not saying it won't fit, just you'll be doing some work to make it fit. I had coilovers, a full WL replacement front / rear, custom camber, fenders flattened & rolled; still no go. Lowering the causes the rear arm to move the wheel forward in the wheel opening which causes the tire to contact the front of the wheel opening. With really stiff springs (basically no suspension travel), you could do it. I spent a lot of time & money with the help of a shop that fabs racecars. We did one trial run on the 275 around the parking lot, rubbed everywhere. I tried with 245. It worked but rubbed under load. I never wanted to cut the body, so the project died. I sold the wheels & tires. Eventually, I bought a set of 17x8 Enkei PF01 & BFG R1 235/40/17. The car made 1.5G on that combo and pushed me out of the driver's seat. Pictures: 1. on the ground, 245's mounted on 18x9.5. 225's in the back on 18x8. 2. on the lift with 275's mounted on 18x9.5. Options to make it work: 1. drill new holes to relocate the axle - Dead Mr. is the person to contact on this. His thread here is worth reading. He used to be GyroDisc and has epic threads there. 2. move the upper c/o mounting point (the tire will hit the c/o first) 3. Use spacers to push the wheel out, then add fender flares. See this thread for help with flares/running wider wheels. 4. Use narrow tires. 215's on 18x9 will work. Looks like shit, but it works.
