soobscript Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 direct fit replacements, EJ perches, or custom order? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Is it gonna move? Did you figure out what motor to go with? -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJM Posted July 12, 2006 Author Share Posted July 12, 2006 EA82T is going in with the AEM running it. I am just ordering 05 Legacy GT fitment rear assemblies right now...I've got a great relationship with a Tein distributor with alot of connections within Tein...so I can get those items...plus with the 9k spring rate from the factory...I can throw on the 10k's with no issues....then I can throw the 12k up front once I figure that out. Next...since I have some spare front D2 damper shells laying around...I am going to attempt to fit those to the front and figure out what I need to order and have made up for a direct bolt on peice.

subyrally Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 did you ever see the thing about tein being able to remake any set up as a fully adjustable coil over set? something like you send them your stuff, the reverse engineer em and send you back new performance bits for a cost.

WJM Posted July 12, 2006 Author Share Posted July 12, 2006 Usually thats just a rebuild of their own stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4WDFrenzy Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Will, how close of a fit are the 05 Legacy GT rear struts to the stockers? Well, I mean on a scale of 1 -10, 10 requiring the most modification, how difficult would they be to swap over? Patrick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4WDFrenzy Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 So the fit is very close then, eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suberdave Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 i was reading the August issue of Car and Driver. they took a 2006 legacy 2.5GT and put the Flex with the EDFC (electronic damping force controller) on it so you could adjust the damping from inside the car on the fly. the pic of the coilovers look very close to what would be needed on an EA82. i already have WRX susp. up front so the front would be a direct fit. and the rear look real close. just need some top hat work. this is something i was tinking about doing also. now that it has been done, it may happen sooner. the only down side is it cost almost $2000.00 -=Suberdave=- http://www.suberdave.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subaru_styles Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 have you allready compare the rear suspension? i got some 02 lego rear shocks and its only gonna take "minor" modification to use them:banana: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJM Posted July 26, 2006 Author Share Posted July 26, 2006 Yes. I bolted up some a LONG rump roast time ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subyrally Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 sooo, what is the actual difference in the rear bits?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moodybluesr Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Is the RX suspension the same as what is on an XT6? Huck made first gen Impreza struts fit on his by bending out the mounts on the bottom of the strut to fit over the XT6's wider spindle and drilling out the holes to accept the Impreza's camber adjust bolts. I took this a step further by having the spindles machined down to accept unmodified Impreza struts on Ruby Sue. Now I have my pick of several struts to mount at least in the front. I am currently running KYB AGX's with pretty good results at the local autox. Here's a pic from the middle of the installation process in April: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
