June 9, 200718 yr What are some springs that would fit on the front of an EA82 that would life the front end 1 1/2-2"?I could make spacers to space the bottom of the strut away from where it mounts to arm But this is something to be temporary...
June 9, 200718 yr Author Do legacy DOjs fit on EA82 axles?If so us Ea82 guys would have stretchy axles just the EA81 guys with dual EA82 DOJs...Im thinking dual legacy DOJs on the rear...
June 9, 200718 yr I haven't heard of that being tried yet. You must be the one to give it a shot, lol...

Ya do know that you can get adjustable struts for those. They come with a natural 1 and 1/2 inch of lift. . . Camber suffers though.
June 10, 200718 yr Author I thought EA82 didn't get adjustable struts...But if they did get them where can I find some...
June 10, 200718 yr '85 and '86 4WD models. hard to find replacements for though... RX springs have a higher spring rate, and will yield a bit of lift in the front as well.
June 10, 200718 yr Author I think I will try to find an 85-86 4wd then,RX's are hard to find...Although if I could find a 85-86 4wd RX then I would be set.I could have a winch/bumper and not have sagging springs..
June 12, 200718 yr some one once said front springs from a ford tempo gave 1.5in lift plus a softer ride. still waiting for one to come through my local jy to see if its true.
June 12, 200718 yr when i checked ( a year ago) you could still get new factory kyb"s with the adjustable lower spring perchs from subaru, roughly around 150-175 per strut. unfortunately you can't buy them from anywhere else that way, kyb is contracted by subaru to make those struts for them. i got info straight from the tech department at kyb when i ordered some from kyb and came through with the fixed perchs.

That was me... ...I Said that. For more info about it, see this Thread: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=110546 Kind Regards.
December 9, 201015 yr Do legacy DOjs fit on EA82 axles?If so us Ea82 guys would have stretchy axles just the EA81 guys with dual EA82 DOJs...Im thinking dual legacy DOJs on the rear... Yes it works....this is what I have on the rear of my EA81 Has to be Legacy rear axle inner joint DOJs so they will be 23 spline. Also, EA82 front axle DOJ and rear inners DOJ will also work for the same, although they aren't quite as deep as the Legacy ones.
December 14, 201015 yr Author hmmm, EA81 axles with legacy DOJ's = MEGA Stretchy axles.... wheel travel FTW!
