rallyrx Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 i'm going to be running a rally suspention set up. But nothing's available i'v looked everywhere. DMS, Bilistien, Tein, so i was thinking of running a WRX suspention. Has anyone done this before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subyrally Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 dont think it will work, the rear is completely different and the fronts are shorter i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowman Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 I'm pretty sure you can get GR2 struts for the EA82s, but that's all the better you can do as far as I know. Custom springs have been made before, as well as urethane bushings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subyrally Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 talk to will(wjm), i think he had modified suspension from something else on his car a while back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddygordouk Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 hah yeah ive looked everywhere too for my 89 RX. i think i want to ggo custom setup after i do a 5 lug conversion but the question is, i want a decent setup and where would anyone make that? if they could? gr-2s cant really handle the higher spring rate for long periods. ive asked everyone haha *sorry for jackin the post this thread also* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

offroadsubaruguy Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 after you do the five lug swap, try looking for a kit to replace the air struts on an xt6 with legacy struts... my mechanic told me that there was such a thing..... that way you could upgrade alot, and in anyway you want to...

Caboobaroo Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 ok to help clear up a few shady areas, you can used upgraded struts in the front from a WRX but only IF you have a 5-lug conversion done. You also have to use the stock tophats in order for it to be a "bolt in" item. I am currently running '95 WRX front struts, brakes, knuckles, axles, XT6 control arms, and XT6 tie rod ends as well. In the back, I still have the stock RX coilovers, XT6 rear discs and calipers. Total cost of the upgrade so far is around $600 but I had to get some parts shipped to me from the west coast. So yes it is possible but it takes some $$$ to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
