Arik Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Hi Guys, After all reading and understanding about how to lift my car, I decided to do it by my self. My car : 2006 Impreza SW, 2.0L, 4WD (euro model). I took my measurements from front and rear strut mounts and they are precise and fit my car perfectly. The spacers fabricated from 6061 Aluminium. Attached my drawing in PDF. I also have it in X_T and Solidworks but I cant share it here. Enjoy, Arik Arik Front Spacer.PDF Arik Rear Spacer.PDF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forester2002s Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Nice clean drawings! If I see it correctly, this is how you fastened the new spacers to the top of the struts: - drill out the 3 old studs from the top of the struts; - screw-in 3 M8 screws (threaded on their full length) from the underside of the strut, into the bottom of the new spacer, and tighten-up; - then insert the exposed ends of the 3 new M8 screws into the car, as normal. Is that what you did? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arik Posted October 13, 2014 Author Share Posted October 13, 2014 Yes, this is what I did. You don't need to drill the studs, just push them. The screws are fully threaded, 60mm length, 8.8 grade. I used high strength locktite to secure the bolts in place so they don't get lose when tightening the nuts on the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nogee Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Does that fit in my 97 GF8? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
