pic request- legacy ss with 04 sti springs

Post by fatgc8 »

He guys can anyone post some pictures up with legacys and 04sti spring setups? Ive searched around and haven't really seen many pictures with that type of setup. I want to see how low the suspension will sit before i purchase a set.

Think I recall someone saying they dropped the car about an inch all around. Realize that your putting newer springs in a pre-facelift car so the front will sit an inch higher than its supposed to (Meaning straight across your back will lower a bit and the front will remain about stock hight). The fix is to get some post facelift struts (93-94).

I dont have any pics of this so heres one of a dog wearing a hat.

I put 04 sti struts and springs on my ss and it lowered both ends around an inch. The car sits really nice. Sorry, but I don't have any pictures and wouldn't know how to post them anyway.

Looking at the pictures, yours sits alot different from mine. Mine isn't high in the front at all, To me it has the perfect stance. Don't know why there would be any differences.

Yeah that's weird. I've seen other legacys with this same problem too with impreza suspension. I put 93-01 impreza coilovers in my car that had just came off an impreza and they too sat high in the front and had to be adjusted to fix the stance.

Front wheel well area is taller then the rear on these cars. Also when you put that suspension setup did you drive the car? I find the suspension settles differently after driving it.

it does sit higher in the front if u measure the rockers, realy need to get coil overs to get the proper stance.
