0Tyrael0 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 The WRX suspension will not lower your car so you don't really need spacers. The only time you need them is in the rear because sometimes you get "ass sag" Well I have the 99 LGT so I guess I dont have to worry about it. If your sure than I wont get them. The reason for my concern is I have these snow tires on my car and if I lose even a little height they wont fit. They fit okay now but not if I lose even half an inch. This guy seems to have what I need. Bit more expensive than the set you found though. http://www.clubwrx.net/forums/personal-sale-wanted/134347769-lots-wrx-parts-suspension-exhaust-exterior.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated broknindarkagain Posted August 26, 2011 I Donated Share Posted August 26, 2011 I didn't notice any drop on my 97 GT when I put on WRX suspension....if it did drop it any, the difference wasn't even noticeable. Try it out...and if you wind up needing spacers....get some spacers. -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

Try it out...and if you wind up needing spacers....get some spacers. Eh yeah your probably right. Thanks for all the advice. What do you think about sale that I posted? He wants double what you got it for. Did you just get lucky or is that a typical price? I got the money I just want a good deal. Rallitek has 3 bars left! They won't be making these anymore. $159 comes with solid endlinks, bushings and the 22-25mm adjustable bar. For the price it cannot be beat. Just letting everyone know. Was a big upgrade. http://www.rallitek.com/RalliTEK-Rear-Anti-Sway-Bar-Kit-LegacyOutback-1996-1999/p-4370 I just bought the last sway bar. It went from 3 to 1 overnight so I bought the last one.

WESTcoast Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 hey broknindarkagain, Just wanted to let you know in the alignment thread, you say that caster isnt adjustable, stock correct but there are cast kits, anti lift kits, and alot of aftermarket top hats let you adjust it. Just shooting that out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0Tyrael0 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Also I want to pick up some front endlinks for my front swaybar. I found these but is there a better choice? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Whiteline-Front-Sway-Bar-endlinks-link-90-04-Legacy-/300368467557?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item45ef5b1665 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated broknindarkagain Posted August 27, 2011 I Donated Share Posted August 27, 2011 Whiteline makes EXCELLENT products. Check with Rallitek and Kartboy as well. They both make endlinks that will fit our cars I think. -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

cbt299 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 OK so i might be able to grab some 05 wrx struts/springs... what does it mean they will bolt right on? Is there a walk through any where? I've searched and searched. http://www.wrxusa.com/Suspension.html Is this what i want and good prices? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated broknindarkagain Posted August 29, 2011 I Donated Share Posted August 29, 2011 02 - 07 WRX struts are what you will need. Looks like the link you provided will work for you. However, that set is going to cost you $300. You can find them for MUCH cheaper then that. There isn't a walk through, but its easy. There are 3 bolts on the top of the strut under the hood in the front. Then two bolts on the steering knuckle.The rears are the same except the top 3 bolts are under the top section of the back seat / rear deck -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

cbt299 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Thanks Brokin... do you know of any sites i can find these? and If i found some from someone parting them out whats a good price for the set 150? 200? Really cool that I could do this myself... i got an estimate at subaru they wanted 1000 dollars. But basically I just take them out and put the new ones in? do i need to worry about tophats or spacers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated broknindarkagain Posted August 29, 2011 I Donated Share Posted August 29, 2011 I didn't use spacers when I did mine. I bought a complete assembly (strut, springs, top hats) for all 4 wheels for $125. Usually they go for about $150 or so. Check on forum classifieds. See if there is a local Subaru forum where you live. Also check on rs25.com, nasioc.com, igotasti.com, and any other Subaru forum. You're MUCH better buying it from a private party -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

Baddog Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 You will need the WRX rear top hats. Your current ones in the front will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbt299 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Thanks a lot guys, I will be on the lookout. I now know exactly what to get. Are there any bushings I should switch out while i'm under there? my body has 270k on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated broknindarkagain Posted August 29, 2011 I Donated Share Posted August 29, 2011 all of the bushings are probably shot. -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

I Donated broknindarkagain Posted August 29, 2011 I Donated Share Posted August 29, 2011 Complete set = struts, springs, and top hats (aka strut mounts) for all 4 wheels. I cant say if you can do it yourself or not. It depends on your mechanical abilities -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

Baddog Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 So who all picked up a sway bar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0Tyrael0 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I did. Got the last one... well when I purchased it said one left. So I assume I got the last one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated broknindarkagain Posted August 31, 2011 I Donated Share Posted August 31, 2011 Out of stock. Typically ships about 15 days after you order it. Ground shipping recommended due to item size or excessive weight It appears they will make them per order now. I'm going to contact them and ask about it. -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

0Tyrael0 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Alright does anyone see a problem with this order? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Whiteline-Front-Sway-Bar-endlinks-link-90-04-Legacy-/300368467557?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item45ef5b1665 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Front-Rear-Upper-Strut-Bar-WRX-2002-2003-2004-2005-/160643114325?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Make%3ASubaru&hash=item2567136555 Also I had a thought. Is it possible to install a rear strut bar with the interior intact? I mean I dont mind taking it out as long as I can put it back in with the strut bar.

0Tyrael0 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 My e-mails with Rallitek Awesome. Thats good you can still purchase them. Thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baddog Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Just called them today. They told me otherwise. Was just told they don't even sell the end links separately from the kit. So I am unsure of how they can "put a kit together" for someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
