thermalsurfing1 Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 hay, we just put ea81 springs in our 99 outback struts and it works awesome ! anyone else try this ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bratman18 Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thermalsurfing1 Posted March 8, 2009 Author Share Posted March 8, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bratman18 Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 So the EA81 springs actually lifted the outback? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thermalsurfing1 Posted March 10, 2009 Author Share Posted March 10, 2009 trying to put picture up now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zefy Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 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?

rtcaravan Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 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.:-\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
