Max Capacity Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Ok, some of you know I have just bought Koni yellows for my 05 wagon. I'm buying Tein H springs from m sprank. The Tein's will drop the car .9" The 1/4" spacers will make the car sit level. The 3/8 and 1/2" spacers will give it some rake. Right now I'm leaning towards the 3/8" spacers. What are your thought's ? 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

cvagnone Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 i have 3/8 with the same springs as you on bilstein HD struts, the slight rake looks real good IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cvagnone Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 i did have to get longer studs for the rear top hats but they are a few bucks from a hardware store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr4v3r Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I am getting koni/Tein H as well but didn't think about spacers. Let us know what you go with and any info you find Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underground000 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 other thing is do you carry things your trunk? cause that'll lower the rear too 5eat downshift rev match:) Powder coated wheels: completed:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted August 31, 2012 Author Share Posted August 31, 2012 Yes I do carry things in my wagon. So may be the 1/2" is a better way to go. m sprank has spacers on his web site. You can find it on the vendor link up top. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

legacy360 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 I have Epic's with a 3/8" rear spacer. It does add a slight rake to the car when unloaded, but with four people and a loaded cargo area the car sits level. Wish I took a picture of it this weekend while on the road.

Max Capacity Posted September 5, 2012 Author Share Posted September 5, 2012 Thanks, I have jumped on the Epic GB and will go with the 3/8" spacer. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs.

claymore_6r Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Do I need spacer if I'm switching from Stock to Koni with H spring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr4v3r Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 im doing the same setup saturday on a sedan, bracers needed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cvagnone Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 i went with spacers because the spec B front top hats on my bilsteins raise the car up higher up front. I used them to even out the ride hieght and also to help clear the 245s im running. you dont have to run spacers but the back is probably going to sit a little lower than the front.
