Coilover Q's

Post by Tommio RS »

Hi everyone!

I can't seem to get a nice straight answer about this....

Im wondering what is a good brand for some coilovers. I have found many MANY brands out there, i just need some input what works fairly well with the legendary legacy turbo!

In saying that... What other coilovers fit the car? Impreza ones?

I ask this question because i really want some fat tires on my ride and my stockish suspension will not go as far as i like.

Im looking for some tire width of like 225-255. Some where in that range. And thats when the coils come into play.

My setup for "Suspension"

KYB GR2's
H&R lowering springs (1.75 front-1.5 rear)
25mm Tribeca front sway bar with poly
Some unknown front endlinks that are CNC'ed with poly

So the car handles like unfriggen real. Like cloverleaf exits at well over 100km's on junk goodyears. The car has no body roll.

So to sum it all up:
What coils are out there for our cars
What coils fit our cars
What can i do to get my dream tires on my car!

Thanks!

the fronts will but the camber plate will be clocked wrong. If you want to get coilovers for a GD and have the camber plates clocked right, you will also want to pick up some GD strut tower braces and drill out the holes so the camber plates are clocked correctly.
