subaruplatt Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Hey Guys. Just wondering what the front to back weight distribution of an 06 2.5i auto Impreza Wagon? I can't seem to find that exact figure any where. Maybe I might have to drive the front and back wheels over a scale. Has any one done that? Good to start a thread where all the different models could be covered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subaruplatt Posted March 15, 2007 Author Share Posted March 15, 2007 Really doesn't any one know the answer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyjo Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 based on the recommended tire pressures i'd say ~ 60:40, or 55:45 just a guess though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegAC Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 A sedan runs 60:40 The wagon runs 58:42 However, don't even think for a second that this translates into better handling. The rear is simply heavier. In addition, there is more body flex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subaruplatt Posted March 16, 2007 Author Share Posted March 16, 2007 A sedan runs 60:40 The wagon runs 58:42 I spent a night or two googling and read lots of posts. Really not an important spec, it's just that subaru doesn't use it. In the past winter we have become new subaru owners. This car makes potholes seem shallower and winter driving into a casual occurrence, this with a relatively stiff suspension, and is the second least expensive of the Subarus. I'm consistently surprised that more people don't have one. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2X2KOB Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Isn't that information listed on the sticker on the driver's door frame? I don't have a Subaru handy (I'm traveling) or I'd just go look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subaruplatt Posted March 18, 2007 Author Share Posted March 18, 2007 They only need to put maximum loads not minimum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RallyKeith Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 I spent a night or two googling and read lots of posts. Really not an important spec, it's just that subaru doesn't use it. Thanks Truth be told, Subaru pushed that stat big when the RS came out, and the 60/40 number sounds off to me for the sedan. I seem to remember that when the RS came out the numbers were closer to 52/48 Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subaruplatt Posted December 5, 2011 Author Share Posted December 5, 2011 (edited) I am digging up one of my old threads. But I found the answer. My 06 Wagon has 57% of the cars weight on the front wheels. Edited December 5, 2011 by subaruplatt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bork Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Sorry for my ignorance, but what the big deal about the weight distribution? You gonna take it out on the track? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subaruplatt Posted December 23, 2011 Author Share Posted December 23, 2011 No big deal it's just something I always wanted to know. My VR6 Gulf I used to have had 67% of the weight on the front wheels. Now I have only 57 % AWD is suposed to be 60/40, makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
