WRX Suspension swap

[dougyj01]

All Have a full 2011 basically new suspension and a 2007 2.5i.

 

Bought whiteline springs for the wrx suspension and thought a simple mod would be needed to fit wrx rear in, Is that the case?

 

If i cut hole bigger for the rear lower mount will it accommodate the wrx rear, and what bolt would i need to send it through?

 

Can i run LGT tophats on the wrx springs?

 

Should i just give up and buy LGT rear struts, and will the wrx springs fit in the LGT struts?

Stop, dont do any of this.

Leave your 2.5i alone. It's an economy car. The suspension is not a copy-paste job. Leave it alone.

Suspension is shot, have the title in hand I'm honestly not worried about "economy" portion of the car. Its a extremely clean 65Z color car not worried about going fast or anything, don't care its not a Lgt or spec-b just want better suspension. Im not replacing the suspension with loaded quick suspension, if i do it im upgrading as i go, Eventually its going to get swapped

Buy a used stock GT suspension.

If your factory suspension is shot, I think you'll be surprised by how much better the car handles with OEM struts and springs installed again.

 

Anyways, just your factory springs and a Koni cut-a-strut from an LGT (you might be able to revalve your stock shocks with the Konis, who knows) and I think you'll have a good time.
