Strut Tops...replacement...

Featured Replies

i think i remember someone saying that newer style Subaru strut tops were the same as EA82 cars...is this true??

 

we've had 2 stock strut mounts come apart on our ice racer. Both...the rubber separated from the metal, and then ended up dropping right out the bottom and were in the fender well.

 

I don't see people with Imprezas and wrx's having this problem.

 

What fits?? i'm looking into getting some GC8 or Group N strut mounts. As they need to look stock on the car as were running production.

I havent seen any people with Imp's and WRX's ice racing either :D

I'm pretty sure you will need to do a 5 lug swap if you want to use the struts and stuff from a Impreza.

it's actually not a concern for ice racing. I'm building a 1985 Subaru RX for Performance Rallying. I'm worried about them coming apart from the beating they take while rallying.

 

I just want to replace the Strut Tops (mounts...the rubber/metal mount with 3 bolts)

 

I already have a custom built bilstien coil-over set-up in the works.
