sportwagon Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 superpro fulcrums or Perrin Positive steering? Or any other options? I was just under the car yesterday... it is now time to get this done! Advice, suggestions, where to buy... Does anyone know of any vendors that would sell the spec B alum. arms with either of these already pressed in? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC GT Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 I've got a set of aluminum arms on the way that I'm thinking I'd rather sell than install. Would come with the stock Spec B bushings, but brand new. You could try the ScoobyMod tranny mount mod to fill in the gaps and firm it up. Let me know if you are interested.

itsme Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 I have the superpro poly bushings and they are great. They firm up the wheel and cut the wandering on the highway and helps the car hold it's line in curves. I don't really feel any extra NHV. I have 19"x7.5"s with 225/35/19 , , cusco front and rear lower braces, whiteline F&R sways, AVO rear sway brace, and the standard superpro bushings are a excellent addition. The perrin is metal and plastic so more then likely cause more NHV then the superpro.

SUBBROS Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 I got the AVOs caster kit. Works great! Make sure you know a guy with a press though. NVH wise... a bit more vibration, stiffened up, but definitely worth the mod. Bump for rallitek. Easy process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j255c Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Full Review: These bushings help the steering response, help the car avoid that unnerving traveling from side-side feeling on the highway, but definately add some nvh(however the car really seems planted). You feel almost every indent in the road through the frame of the car. Honestly I like it, but if you are looking for something gentle these are probably not the right bushings. + 1 for Perrin Products best suspension mod i've ever done.

KartRacerBoy Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 j255c, what was the cost of the install for these bushings? It can't be cheap if the have to remove the lower arm and reinstall, not to mention getting the old bush out and new one in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsme Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 I've heard 250 and 350. You are the winnar! It's really easy to take off your LCA. You can save alot of money if you take them off then get them pressed in. I'm going to buy that 12 ton press for $80. so I can do all my own pressing.

REM87O Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 For the record, I am the high price there, and it included the bushings, install and an alignment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to buy that 12 ton press for $80. so I can do all my own pressing. True, on the face of it, and I considered it at first. The LCA are in fact easy to take off, easier if you have a lift of course, but just bolts. It was participating in the whole thing that made me glad I had enlisted the help of my trusted friend in a local Subie garage. The pressing in/out got tricky. We (he ) ended up making the pressing tools. It wasn't easy and took longer than the rest of the job altogether. The clearances are very tight and specific, do it wrong and you will be buying new arms. If you are lucky enough to have the Subaru specific tools you're all set. If you don't be forwarned. sorry for not responding sooner,i got them installed for $85. About right, whoever quoted $250ish, unless it included the bushings, is a thief. And I, too, opted for the zero offset bushings. I'm extremely happy with the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So... the removal of the LCA is a cinch, yes? But the pressing is tough... OK! Makes sense... I need to look at praedet's thread to confirm this... As for Camber... refresh my memory, please! Can you say that because you have lowered a car that you will need increased camber? Or is it completely dependent on the individual case and the alignment settings of a particular vehicle? I'm not sure if I need the camber adjustment kit? But, I don't want to go get an alignment before I order bushings unless I have to... I'm gonna need an alignment after I install JDM GT bilsts, STi trailing arms and the LCA bushings... My alignment information might be different now, with stock struts/pinks than it would be with bilst/pinks, right? I'm confused with camber right now... it's been a long day... anyone have a link to an easy explanation of camber? Thanks, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KartRacerBoy Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 The $250 and $350 quotes included LCA removal, removing/pressing in new bushings, and alignments. Total cost of the job for tool fools like me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
