Rutchard Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 with the strut tops being so close to the firewall, I can't see a strut tower brace being needed in these cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaceComp Engineering Posted December 2, 2009 Author Share Posted December 2, 2009 with the strut tops being so close to the firewall, I can't see a strut tower brace being needed in these cars. I agree and it would be at the point in which you had about 700/700lb springs on very stiff coilovers and R comps that one would benefit from strut tower braces. This new chassis is creak free( imo) and very stiff. The platform feels solid. Sways, yes I do know we will do a good front sway and the rear sway should be released any day now.

legacy360 Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Myles, Are either of the sites going to have a dedicated 2010 Legacy section or are we gonna have to search through the 2008+ WRX? It's not that big of an issue with me, just a way to eliminate confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chorline Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 I'm interested in it all. Looking for coilovers, sway bars, strut braces, etc. Not looking for anything too aggressive but def. something that can drop the height alittle while improving corning + handling. Keep us posted!

Thanks Myles! AWESOME !! I apologize as I meant to call you today ! With the snow, my son, the fish tailing Boxster, and a fashion show video shoot...today was wacked. I JUST got home !! Oh and when I left your hotel last night at 10:55 I still had to go pick up wings and go home. The wings were not ready either !! But I am totally happy to know you like them. I spent about 2 weeks getting my settings perfect and then I only tweeked rebound 2 clicks on yours. Ride height looked great. I need host the pics I took too.

RaceComp Engineering Posted December 6, 2009 Author Share Posted December 6, 2009 We kept the factory front rake to compensate for luggage and 4 adults in the car. Mw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark30pwr Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 I like the lowered look, but I can't do it due to all the deep snow where I live. Right now I need every bit of clearance I can get. It's too bad I can't have the best of both worlds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnoyes Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 You've nailed it, Myles! Perfect functional height, balanced with the right look. The rake looks just right too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wings were not ready either !! well at least the wings were fresh, right? that snow definitely made things interesting yesterday, the drive fro MD to DC was more stressful than the trip from NY to MD I at least did a few laps Friday night after you dropped the car off... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v307/Rutch/graphix/cloverleaf.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Jeff !! The car feels very BMW like I would say. Sporty, but still "Legacy-ish". You still feel like you are driving what you paid for...BUT with a good splash of sportiness ! ( that didnt make sense, but you know what mean)..lol. Myles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaceComp Engineering Posted December 6, 2009 Author Share Posted December 6, 2009 now we just need some springs at that height Well I have one of Rutchards fronts for proper development. I am trying to gauge interest for a mid level drop. basically need 20 people to make the springs happen. Myles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
