You will need to have the struts dyno'd on an actual shock dyno to see which one is stiffer.

 

The best camber plates to use are the Cusco and Noltec for GD-WRX.

thanks for all the info!

yep! np!

reading this thread makes me want to get my hands on some new RX dampeners and have them shock dyno'ed

is it me or does the term "shock dyno" just sound so cool that you need to repeat it?

SHOCK DYNO

SHOCK DYNO

SHOCK DYNO

SHOCK DYNO

SHOCK DYNO

 

yeah it IS pretty cool to say:drunk:

damnit you guys.

Another rookie question:

 

I went searching for used camber plates and there are many different ones. 93/01 Imp; 2002 wrx; 2004 wrx; STi.

 

Will any of these fit my RX with GR2's? Or should i say which of these is the best match? (if any)

 

Thanks!

if they fit the stock RS-WRX-STi-GC6/GM6/GC8, GDx/GGx, struts, they will fit ours.

 

it woudl be BEST to use the GDx/GGx stuff....the 02+ Impreza/WRX/STi plates as they will give the most camber AND caster adjustment. (00+ everywhere else in the world)

 

The GC stuff will only give you max camber...and under dynamic situations...under cornering load...the car will push badly. The MRT's i have I have FULL range of adjustment...and when set at max camber only the car pushes badly. When set to max caber+caster (pushed all the way back at a 45 deg angle towars the engine/firewall) the car handles nicely, and doesnt have excessive static camber when going stright on down the road.

Is there a place I can reference all the designations you are using? The GC, GD, etc? I need to get up to speed on this stuff.

 

Anyway sounds like any of the '02+ is what I need.

GC is impreza, 92-01, AWD 5spd. GC6 is 2.5 RS sedan USA, GM6 is 2.5 RS USA Coupe, GC8 is non-USA Sedan or Coupe EJ20x turbo powered 5spd, either WRX or STi or 22B-STi.

 

GDA/GDB/GGx is the 02+ (00+ everywhere else) Impreza, the bug-eye WRX/STi and the new "crosseye" WRX/STi...along with the TS/RS models as well.

 

any Bxx designation is legacy, and you can use those camber plates as well....but I would shoot for GDx chassis plates.
