Ea81 springs in outback struts= lift

Featured Replies

So this makes me wonder if newer style springs will fit in old style struts, for instance, I have a set of WRX springs, would they fit into a set of EA82 struts? And would they be too stiff?

ok i have all the picture , step bu step. they are on my buddies camera. i will get them up soon. we are going to do the fronts but first need to find shorter springs or cut the ea spring down a bit. we got at least 3" lift

interested in seeing results and pics. :)

what did you do with the spring seat?

 

is it just sitting in there all willy nilly? probably not a problem as a lot of 'coilover kits' do that with collars...

 

i'm also assuming this was for the front? what about the rear? more ea81 springs?

if you got 3" out of the outback struts with the ea81 springs aren't the struts topped out when on the car? you wouldn't have any rebound, every time you hit a bump the tires would come off the ground because you wouldn't have the extra travel to absorb the bumps.:-\
