Duke of Lawnchair Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 First of all, I apologize for reopening a dead thread. Secondly, for those who have shimmed their rears with the Subaru OEM rubber seat, how have your cars been treating you? Any issues with ride quality, height and most of all, safety? Thanks in advance, -Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CDN 2.5i Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 I've got some spring seats on the way to use with my JDM GT springs that also make my wagon appear to sag somewhat without a load (other than two amps and a stealthbox). The car definitely sags right now when i have it loaded so I'm hoping the spring seats will help rectify the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDN 2.5i Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Finally got the spring seats installed. They stack well, fit into the existing seats nicely and look to be very stable. Works great - raised the rear about 3/4" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacky Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 does it need any trimming or something? I know one thing - right now my lights are a bit to high. With my HID I feel sorry for upcoming drivers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CDN 2.5i Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 how about these ? http://www.energysuspension.com/pages/sboots.html While I'm sure the energy suspension units would be fine, one thing i like about the oem pieces is that they appear to be metal reinforced. Now, as just a spacer, adding the energy suspension pieces should be fine if topped with the oem spring seat i would think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
