subaru_styles Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 K so when I did the 5bolt conversion and added 205 tires i noticed a big difference in cornering compared to stock.....I just put some super stiff adj. lowering coilovers and kyb rear strtus on my car and WHOOOHOOOO:headbang: my car corners 5 times better!!!! its amazing how soft the stock springs were..ive been taking some gnarly corners doing 80 and it corners better than my friends lowered jetta! i still haven't put on a strut bar, rear sway bar, or bigger front sway on yet.....

WJM Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 Yeah....I found some 250# and 330# springs (front and rear respectively) that sit in the stock struts perfectly, those effectively lowered the front, but almost kept the back where it was...its only dropped about 0.5".....yes yes, corner you say? Corner. Especially with these camber/caster pates maxed out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneralDisorder Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 5 lug conversion comes from an XT6 ONLY. You have to swap all the brakes and the lower control arms etc - it's a lot of parts. Generally quite expensive too, since XT6's are pretty rare. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
