Ok so Im putting 4wd front springs on FWD front struts and FWD wagon springs/struts for the back of my sedan. Hopefully that combo will get a bit more height.After comparing springs in the junkyard 4wd front springs are about 3/4" taller than FWD front springs(unloaded) and wagon springs are much ...

anyone know the front spring rate of 2000-2004 subaru's with the h6?

I will try the ignition switch first then check out the computer if it doesnt take care of the chime..

I am going to replacing my struts with new struts soon (hopefully) are there some good/cheap springs that will stiffen the ride up but not drop the car any?

what does the control unit look like and where is it?

damn

I tried searching, but I didnt really find anything. I want to remove the door chime, because it is very annoying but I would still like my roof light to light up when the door is open.What does the door chime thing look like where is it at?I tried looking under the dash but I wasnt able to pinpoint ...

So I got it installed and back together,and I have one complaint. Why did subaru have to the trim pieces clip in rather than use screws?The piece of trim for the B pillar broke at the bottom and along the top edge heading back...Damn.I suppose the next time I am up at pull and save I will see if ...

Would this work as far as suspension goes:

FWD wagon springs on the rear struts to get more spring rate. then put 4wd hubs/spindles/etc on the front to open up options.

Or are FWD and 4wd front struts the same?

At this point if I can get more spring rate without lowing the car I will be happy.

The controller is under the center counsil(ie where the handbrake is)? If so I will unplug it when I put in my new shoulder belt.

My 84 offroad subaru GL doesnt have a straight panel on it.Even though its my offroad toy none of the dents (except where I took a hammer to the wheelwells to make 235/75/15s fit) came from offroading..

So how can I disable the airbag without the light being on all the time,And no possible way it would ignite?

so what makes the AWD struts different?Just curious.

Thats odd, I had to remove the headliner in the donor vehicle to access the top bolts that hold the track in.Although it was a wagon with a sunroof so its headliner might be different.I also got the motor as well, the complete assembly for $30

they make one for the 93-01 IMP but not the legacy.I dont know if that would fit.

Im short and oddly proportioned.My legs are shorter and my torso/arms. So to get full pressure on the pedals I have to sit really close to the airbag.Can I disable the air bag by simply pulling the fuse or would it ignite at a bad time?Or do I have to unplug the airbag computer as well?Thanks.

in my car the driver's side automatic seat belt shoulder belt didnt work because the cable derailed.I went and picked up a working automatic driver's side belt and track for $30.Now I have to take apart the whole damn car to change a seatbelt.How come only canada got the manual belts?GRRR!! just ...

the legacy doesnt have a sunroof. So a rollbar would be ineffective?

BTW heres a link to my photo album of a car I rolled just on causal drive. I stupidity tried to avoid a dog that jumped out on a corner and lost the tail then the car slid into a ditch,smashed though a 4x4 post, then a guy wire ...

Does that mean that STI struts will fit a FWD if you use FWD strut tops?Would STi springs lower or lift the car?

How about a roll bar behind the front seats?Rather than a full 6 or 8 PT rollcage?

Would a rollbar help that much in a crash?

I am just thinking a rollcage to improve the safety a little bit,because Ive already rolled one car (just on a causal drive on a gravel road,tried to miss a dog that jutted out from a blind corner)

Would FWD 93-01 imprezza struts and legacy springs lift the car?

so then how do you practice?

what about running a EA series subaru with a EJ22 swapped in it? it would be faster than a stock legacy but the poor suspension would hamper its performance in the turns...

I just bought a 93 Legacy L.Its FWD,has a 5 speed and is a sedan.I was thinking of rallying abit with it because its cheap enough that I am not to worried about stacking it (bought it for $225). I was thinking making a skidplate with 1" tube backing it or something,put in a cheap rollcage, then some ...
