True2Blue Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 i got my camber figured out thanks for the ideas! mind sharing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Subi4x4 Posted October 4, 2010 Author Share Posted October 4, 2010 Kinda hard to explain over the internet...... i drilled and slotted the top stock holes and shifted my struts over to correct the camber.... and also dropped my front end to a 8.5 inch so that helped a little as well.... should work good.....

88Subi4x4 Posted October 4, 2010 Author Share Posted October 4, 2010 not as easy as it sounds i dont know the exact number off the top of my head im still kinda playing with it... to figure out what will be the best i will get pics up in a few weeks when i get it done... i dont think it will make the camer perfect but i think it will be enough!

Gloyale Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 and yes i realize that the only way to fix it is move the top of the strut inward... and the best way to do it would be top angled blocks! but dropping my struts 9 inches they wont fit correct they hit! BFH There is a guy somewhere in South America who did a 16" lift on a brat, with strut tops. There is a way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Subi4x4 Posted October 4, 2010 Author Share Posted October 4, 2010 i would love to see how he did it.... Link? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloyale Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 (edited) http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=103080&highlight=Brat+lift+huge Well.....it's an old thread......and I was confusing his lift and wheel size (doh!) it's a 10" lift......and after looking again, he aparently didn't do angled blocks and has worse camber than you! But he fixes it later in the thread. Great pics of what to do. At any rate, other than the fact you've already made the bottom extensions, why would you not want to use strut tops? Made well they should be plenty strong, and you can get rid of ALL that + camber with a 16 Degree cut on the tube. I could sell you some pre-cut and drilled triangle plates for the top and bottom pieces.....drilled and ready to add the tube, any length you decide.

Loyale90 Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 (edited) 2 inch or 12 inch or 20 inch. Angle stays the same. 16 degrees for EJ (Legacy, Imp, Forrester) 17 degrees for EA82 14 degrees for EA81 22 Degrees for EA71 hate to bring back the dinosaur thread but if this is correct itd be real nice for the offroad FAQ, would eliminate alot of searching/trial and error. just sayin.
