Hmm.... A box......

Post by IronMonkeyL255 »

I wonder what it could contain.

It say it's from Boxer4Racing, so it must be good.

Let's see.

SuperPro! All the way from the land down under!

I wonder what bushings it contains. Maybe steering rack, or maybe rear lateral links.....

Image

Holy carp that's alot of bushings!

Image

A total of 6 different part numbers.


Thanks Dale!

For those of you curious, this is a kit that replaces the rear lateral link bushings, front and rear trailing arm bushings, steering rack bushings, front control arm bushing, and an offset rear control arm bushing.

Basically all the major suspension bushings. :banana:

$330 plus shipping, which is about $110 less than getting each part seperate.

Cool deal man. That's probably the route I would have gone if I had to do it over again. The sti bushings are just an unbelievable bear to install.

Why the offset- more neg. camber?

Also do you mind telling us how much it all was?

It's supposed to add ~.5 degrees static positive or negative (depending on how you install it) caster, IIRC.

It's like a mini ALK. It doesn't have as great an effect as the ALK, but it's FSP legal.

I figure this should be a pretty good bang-for-the-buck suspension-wise. After this, I may get a few more bushings (like Unabomber's sexy rear end from TIC) or sways.

Oh, yeah.

For those of you interested, this is KIT135K - the GC STI bushing kit. They also have one for the GC WRX (KIT134K), but the only difference is the steering rack bushings (STI has 30mm bushings while WRX has 25mm bushings).

It wasn't technically listed for our cars, but I figure it's worth a shot considering the BC legacy is basically a slightly larger GC Impreza. Besides, at least half of the bushings were listed individually as the same for the Legacy. If it works (which it should), I plan on contacting SuperPro and telling them to update their catalog.....

The part numbers included:

SPF1390K - Control Arm - Front Bushing
SPF1388AK - Control Arm - Rear Eccentric Bushing
SPF1972K - Steering Rack & Pinion Mount Bushing
SPF1463K - Rear Lateral Links - Inner & Outer Bushings
SPF1491K - Trailing Arm Lower Front Bushing
SPF1907K - Trailing Arm Lower Rear Bushing

Id hold off on doing the steering rack ones unless you are certain they wont break off. drilling out and retapping while lying on your back isnt too much fun.

Oh right I was thinking it was a lateral link bushing for some reason. Cool. Also I can't think of a reason any of that wouldn't work on a BC.

As far as the steering rack goes, my brackets came right off, and scottzg said his were really easy. I'm very glad I have them too.

I also got a box today. It contains a 20mm front swaybar.
