HFSDevil Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 Bam!!!!! My friend works at a local Ford dealership and they got in a Legacy that was totalled, but before they hauled it off, he pulled off its stock suspension and we cut 1 1/2 springs off the back and front and put them on my car. Might as well mess up suspension I don't care about rather then mine. No camber problems at all, but we have to put about another 1/2 spring off the front since the back settled lower then the front. Pretty good deal I think. http://home.comcast.net/~samur_devil/suspension.jpg http://home.comcast.net/~samur_devil/suspension2.jpg http://home.comcast.net/~samur_devil/suspension3.jpg http://home.comcast.net/~samur_devil/suspension4.jpg http://home.comcast.net/~samur_devil/suspension6.jpg 2002 Subaru Legacy L (Retired) 2008 Subaru Legacy 2.5GT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boostjunkie Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 Hey, it was free right? Some minor spring trimming is usually safe and somewhat effective. I think you went a little overboard on the rear though. While spring do get stiffer as you cut them, I'd guess that the rear are no where near stiff enough to cope with that low a ride height.

HFSDevil Posted April 14, 2005 Author Share Posted April 14, 2005 I only cut 1 1/2 springs all the way around. There is definetly like 2 inches extra of space in the rear fenders so if I wanted to I could actually lower it more (I'm not going to) In the front I have at least 2 inches inches of clearence when I'm turning. I am only gonna lower if about 1/2 a spring in the front if I even decide to do it. 2002 Subaru Legacy L (Retired) 2008 Subaru Legacy 2.5GT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redline76 Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 So much for measure once, cut twice. When you say you have two inches of clearance in the rear, do you mean two inches of suspension travel before hitting the bump stops? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boostjunkie Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Devil']No I mean 2 inches from the top of my tire to the top of my fender So now you have 2" of total possible travel... and probably less than that in reality.
