whitetiger Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 If you go to http://www.whiteline.com.au/Plus/search.php and search under the BL/BP legacy, they have new part#'s for bushings for the rear subframe, diff and trailing arm. they are brand new parts, so they are not available yet, but I'm glad that Whiteline is still making new things for us.

Gmachine Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Subframe and diff bushings should finish off the back end of my car. While you guys were racing,i was stuck at work. Made the best of it by installing the KTA124 toe/camber arms. KSR207 rack bushings and an alignment are next. Glad to see Whiteline still investing in BP/BL parts.

Windy Road Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Would the diff bushings be the same as the ones for the WRX/STI? 276hp/347tq On a DynoJet Dyno Video - Had a big lean spot as you can tell in the second pull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitetiger Posted June 9, 2010 Author Share Posted June 9, 2010 not sure. the rear subframe on the wrx/sti is different, so it most likely wont fit. PM Unclemat to be sure. he has done alot of grp.N bushing work on his legacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleBlueGT Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Would the diff bushings be the same as the ones for the WRX/STI? The upper diff bushing inserts are the same, I have them in my car.

whitetiger Posted June 9, 2010 Author Share Posted June 9, 2010 the thing im most excited about is the replacement bushing for the big squishy tennis ball one in the rear trailing arms, and also the subframe bushings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naimouasta Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 it be nice if they hurry up with those top hats too. and i agree with the rear trailing arm bushing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitetiger Posted June 10, 2010 Author Share Posted June 10, 2010 well, I sent some emails, and it seems that Whiteline has the the rear trailing arm bushings W63217 in stock along with some others. from globalperformanceparts.com I heard back from Whiteline and they have the following in stock: W63225 W93230 W93231 W63217 ETA would be 4-6 weeks These are still in development: W93388 W93386 W93387 ETA unknown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonardo Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Loving the idea of installing the W63217! Would be perfect to find a good set of used Spec B trailing arms while at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FredBeans Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 They are expensive but they save a bunch of weight. Like 7-8lbs/side if I recall correctly. Combine it with aluminum upper links and WL camber and toe links and you have... well, my suspension. I will find out if we can get these parts for you guys. http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/2976/img8202s.jpg http://img412.imageshack.us/img412/673/img8207s.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitetiger Posted June 10, 2010 Author Share Posted June 10, 2010 you should list the rear alu trailing arm and upper control arm on the FBP website, and even better if you can stock the bushings i mentioned above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FredBeans Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Okay, so just to be clear: http://www.whiteline.com.au/Plus/part_images_new/thumbs/tn_W63217.jpg W63217 is the front bushing for the rear trailing arm. http://www.whiteline.com.au/Plus/part_images_new/thumbs/tn_W63225.jpg W63225 are replacement bushings for the upper control arm. I can't quite discern where W93230 and W93231 go. How do these compare to the normal KDT903 that some people have used (diff inserts)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitetiger Posted June 10, 2010 Author Share Posted June 10, 2010 not sure, except that they are now specifically listed for the BL/BP chassis. maybe the KDT903 had to be trimmed to fit and the others wont need to be. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gmachine Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/2976/img8202s.jpg Looks like the backend of my car as well. Small observation....shouldn't the helper spring on your coilover be extended at this point? With the suspension at full droop,the spring should not be fully compressed. In other words why have it at all? Are we doing a little V2 exhaust testing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonardo Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 I know the diff inserts we used from the 08+WRX had two bushings we didn't use for the little crossmember on the bottom of the diff. Maybe they separated the kit into two kits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the suspension at full droop,the spring should not be fully compressed. In other words why have it at all? Are we doing a little V2 exhaust testing? Very observant my friend. Regarding the helper spring... I didn't even notice that as I was fixated on the KTA124 and the exhaust install. The inner bolt on my 4BoxParts camber links had frozen on both sides and I spent at least an hour extracting each side... the nut would spin right off but the bolt and sleeve bushing had frozen solid. Upon reviewing my pictures, it appears both sides have the helper springs in the fully compressed state at full droop. I think it's rather unlikely that the divider has seized to the shock body on both sides, especially since I clean the coilovers every six months when I swap wheels. The alternative is that I have the ride height adjusted so high that the helpers are fully compressed even at full droop... Seems unlikely though since I lowered the car from the RCE preset height (-1.22"F/-.34"R from stock). Actually... now that I do the math, -.34 is only ~8.6mm which is very close to what RCE ships (-10mm). I guess I'm really not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleBlueGT Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 KW or RCE coilovers for our cars are like that. I don't know why, but they are.

Gmachine Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Are most people running the RCE's at a lower ride height than what they are set up for? It looks to me one would be sacrificing droop travel for lower ride height. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredBeans Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 No, you sacrifice compression travel by lowering ride height. Think about it... you have the same amount of shock stroke either way. If you are lower than you are starting at a lower point in the stroke so you can't go down as far (compression), but you can extend (droop, rebound) the remainder of the stroke.

It looks to me one would be sacrificing droop travel for lower ride height. No, if you had stock ride height the helper spring might be slightly uncompressed at full droop, but not much. There is enough compression in the rear, it is the front that will suffer if lowered too much. Full tune of 68HTA, KSTech 73 MAF, Racer X FMIC and ID1000s................by the DataLog Mafia!!!

earth Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Hi Gmachine, I'm thinking of getting 1 set of KTA124 but it cost 600+++ in SG. Is it good? Worth installing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
