elgigante Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Saw that miata struts work on the Subaru gl. Will rear coilovers work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWD J3wman Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 yes but you have to use the strut mount from the subaru and the spring needs to fit in the strut mount Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elgigante Posted July 9, 2014 Author Share Posted July 9, 2014 Perfect, so how come everyone resorts to subaru legacy coilovers when miata ones can be found for way cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elgigante Posted July 9, 2014 Author Share Posted July 9, 2014 So do the fronts fit aswell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subarutex Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 So do the fronts fit aswell? No. Miata's use an upper / lower control arm suspension with the integrated shock/spring (coilover). EA82's use a McPherson strut setup, like almost all other Subaru's. Which means the front suspension has a lower arm, and the strut acts as the shock/spring/ & upper control arm.

AWD J3wman Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 ^This.So you have to mcguyver some stuff together. I used XT struts on stock springs up front and NB Miata coilovers in back, sits pretty good. Might toss in some coilovers in front though.
