Thanks Rob, Could I get the damping force too?

Is that from the '86 manual?

Thanks!

All info is from the 86 FSM. The 4wd stats are for the RX Turbo.

Front

2wd - Expansion,176lb/Comp,110lb

4wd - Expansion,309lb/Comp,265lb

 

Rear

2wd - Expansion,176/Comp,110lb

4wd - Expansion,309lb/Comp,221lb

Hey, while you are looking up 1986 FSM specs, do you mind looking up the curb weight of a 1986 Subaru RX Turbo Sedan? All the results I can find are for overseas models or different model years (and I think the later RX models may actually weigh more).

 

Thanks! :D

Awesome Rob, thanks.

 

Are the GL-10 turbo 4WD and RX listed in the same column? That's how it's listed in the '87 manual.

 

Thanks again, Mark.

Does anyone know the answer to this question? I can't seem to find an accurate answer no matter how hard I search!? :-\

Sorry bout that, missed this post. Theres alot of differences in weight between the models and options.

This is for the 5spd D/R - 1,143lbs.

Umm...that sounds a little light. Are you sure that isn't just the weight for one half of the car!? LOL ;) (I know the '89 FSM lists 3 curb weights per model: front, rear, and total.)

 

And yes, I am requesting the info for the 5spd D/R model. :D

 

Thanks for the help,

it said on my title 2600 lbs. my car is an 86 rx turbo sedan as well.
