Will i need strut spacers?

Featured Replies

Im putting STOCK 2002 WRX Struts on my 1998 Legacy Outback (Wagon).  Will I have the butt sag that people are talking about? I've been reading around and everywhere says something different... some say yes, and get spacers, some say no.  PLEASE HELP!!

 

Thanks!

There's a good chance. It's there on most cars anyway. But the saggy butt spacers through paranoidfabrications.com are really cheap. Just grab a set of and be prepared.

Okay thanks! What size should i go with? 1/4 or 3/8''?

That'll really depend on what you're looking for. There's not a huge difference between the two, and I'd personally rather have the rear sit ever so slightly higher than the front, so I'd personally go with the 3/8.

I just want to even it out because it seemed like the best route to go.  The difference between the two is really next to nothing like you said... i did here that the 3/8 MAY need the longer studs but im not positive if that is true or not

Alright, i just ordered the 3/8'' spacers.  I'll try to remember to post an update here when I get these struts finished up!
