H&R springs and Camber bolts

Post by snowjob »

Hey thier, I just picked up a set of H&R springs for my turbo 92, and the guy said that he thought I'd probably need the rear camber kit bolts for this, I just wanted to see is this nececary, I'm running KYB GR2's all around and now have the H&R's, Do I need the camber adjusters??
Thanks

Best way to find out: Install the springs and see if you need them. Chances are you won't. If you do, they are not hard to install.

I got these of Nasioc. I paid $200cnd which seems to be a good deal, camber bolts included everything new in the box. Anyone have this setup, how do they like it??

If they are the actual BC/BF Legacy ones then they should lower your car 1 1/4 " in the front and 1" in the rear as advertised. Not too low and enough to look good.

I have this setup minus the camber bolts and I'm extremely pleased with it.

I guess you swapped new strut top mounts in the rear right. Does your car sit nice and level? Do you have GR-2's ar well?

Yes, I did swap out the top mounts. The car is level but it looks real nice. It doesn't look or feel like its been lowered thanks to the new strut tops. And yes, I do have GR-2s. Like I said, I'm extremely satisfied with the results.

Do you have any pics of the car. I'm interested in how it looks. You got the actual 92-94 Legacy springs (not GC8 impreza springs) right? Sorry I just want to make sure of everything about this setup cause I want to get these springs in the future.

Sorry, no pics at this time. To be honest, I don't take care of my car like I used to so it's pretty dirty right now. Yes, I have the actual Legacy springs thanks to subyluvrr

Hey Mark, thanks for asking all the question I was thinking, Yes they are the acutally springs advertised for a legacy. And I'm pretty stoked to put them in. How is the ride feel with them? harsh, firmer, how's cornering??

Thanks

The ride with them is alot stiffer, but I wouldn't say harsh. It was just what I was looking for and it doesn't have the little bouncies either. To be quite honest, it doesn't look lowered to anyone who isn't familiar with how the Legacy sits. I really hated the look of it before the swap. Conering is better also but I must consider that I was riding on blown struts and worn springs before. I took a few pictures but it was dark and I'm not a prof. photographer but I hope this helps. Also, the front looks slightly higher in the front but it's just the driveway is so steep. The car is actually level. How do I post pics?
