Jaxx Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 howdy so i took me a little less than 3 hrs by myself to the the springs and rear sway bar 20 min of that was me taking the rear sway on and off 5 times before i figured out which way it went on springs: the tool clearance on the bottom bolt on the rear strut is awful. on jack stands its is very difficult to get it off the first time and no clearance for an impact wrench .. fronts were cake At full strut extension both front and rear only have about 1/4 of preload i didn't use springs compressors to put the struts back together. it has only had ~8 hrs to settle but it looks like 1.5" drop front 1.25" rear rear sway: there is absolutely no way to get this on with out removing both exhaust cans at least with the progress bar. the mounting brackets progress sent were too short so i used the stock one with the progress bracket (have to call on monday) front sway: still not so sure about this guy the clearance between the bar and the control arm is very very close it might be time to try adjustable front end links over all not bad for 460 shipped i bet that you could find the whole setup for $50-60 cheaper too (yeah a complete setup for the cost of pinks/swifts/ions) the ride is softer than i expected softer than the eibachs i had on my wrx but with the 225/40/18 you can feel the bumps in the highway at 80 porpoising is gone, braking reactions is greatly improved, car is flick-able now picts rear sway and springs (GC* springs in the background) http://www.legacygt.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=5427 springs compaired http://www.legacygt.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=5467 rear sways compaired http://www.legacygt.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=5470 http://www.legacygt.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=5471 front sway: progress wrx sway and legacy front http://www.legacygt.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=5420 http://www.legacygt.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=5421 control arm clearance http://www.legacygt.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=5424 http://www.legacygt.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=5425 slotted progress front bracket http://www.legacygt.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=5426 before: http://www.kineteria.com/share/MVC02290.JPG after: http://www.kineteria.com/share/MVC02326.JPG and no i don't like punctuation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
