Suzrub Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Can I get away with putting in some taller shocks nin to achieve a little bit of ground clearance for my 88 dl wagon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soobmater Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 ya, u can put in Honduh accord rear springs in, and rx front springs in. if i remember right, should be almost 2inches more in the rear, and a inch in the front. Good luck with finding the RX springs though, not to easy. Have u checked out the lift kits for subarus? check out... www.ozified.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soobmater Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 i got some KYB struts, they work nicely. Dont think they actually gave me more clearance, but if ur's are saggy, it could raise u a little bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont think they actually gave me more clearance, but if ur's are saggy, it could raise u a little bit. I am more looking for a little clearance up front. But I want to do it cheap b/c my sub is only a single range, I'm saving for a dual range. Do you know if it's hard to fix a broken turbo? Or how much to get them fixed? Are they somewhat easy to find ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subarian Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I know of three at least in the local pick-n-pull. I don't have any idea about your area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoahDL88 Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 b/c my sub is only a single range Mine started like that, and now its teh better. don't let a single range discourage you, the GL D/R bolts right in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GL D/R bolts right IN!!!!!! What is D/R ? is that the transfer case that gives you hi and lo range? Thats awesome if that's the case!!! I would definately keep this car if I could do that!!

Subarian Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 It's not a transfer case; it's part of the trans. The dual range trans has a selectable gear on the input that changes the ratios. It's a direct swap. You'll need the dual range trans with the shifter and the shifter surround from the donor car. I bought a trans recently from Pick-n-pull and they wanted to charge me an extra $50 for the transfer case. I said to go ahead and take it off. Since they couldn't find one, I got out without paying the extra $50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soobmater Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 ^^^^ after u get a dual range in, a 3 inch lift or a 4 owns dude!!! then u dont really have to worry about the struts as much, even though i got my kybs. it was just because my old one's were wore out.
