October 18, 200619 yr Once your control arms are flat, you are probably at or beyond the point of ideal handling, as the dynamic camber increases towards positive camber in suspension bump/body roll. Going lower might not offer any performance benefits.
October 18, 200619 yr For aesthetics that hight is awesome. Looks sweet. Can't see why you'd want to back any lower then that (unless you want to drop the front lower too?) Looks sweet.

Going lower might not offer any performance benefits. I doubt he is, judging from the fender gap and tire size. I've got stock-sized tires tucked almost an inch up into the fenders in the front, and the control arms still aren't flat. and, with the spring rates as tight as they are, the angles don't change much. so even if it is that low, it won't make that much difference.... anyway, looks awesome man, and I imagine it handles amazing. I drove an impreza this last weekend with an old Tein Flex system on it (needed revalving....), and it was amazing. ME WANT!!

November 10, 200619 yr awesome work! i'm really curious to hear about the results... where did you get the bushings for the 14mm to 12mm? did you make them yourself? how exactly did you modify the rear tops to have the funky ea82 mounting plate bolt onto it?
November 23, 200619 yr Author sorry i have been going thorough hell trying to get the right motors for the rear. i have taken them back and gotten a new set. but keep getting the wrong ones. i have the front motors in and working properly but not the rears. but i love the way it rides. with it on the softest setting it rides almost the same as stock, then with it on the hardest setting it corners like it is on rails. looking forward to next spring, im going to take it and do some auto-X. but i a word "AWESOME" -=Suberdave=- http://www.suberdave.com
November 23, 200619 yr Dave, your wagon is awesome, it's pretty much the only thing keeping me from giving up on mine right now. Looking good, hopefully I can get mine somewhere close in the next decade!
January 29, 200719 yr So let me get this strait. I know you used the hubs from the impreza but how about using the front and rear hubs from an XT6? I am very intently looking to blow a wad of cash on a set of coilovers from my XT6.
January 29, 200719 yr Author XT6 hubs are almost the same. they use the same struts. but the calipers are different. the impreza calipers dont have the parking brake on them. they would work the same. -=Suberdave=- http://www.suberdave.com
