gr2 eccentrics?

Post by speedoboy31 »

does anyone know if the gr2's for a 92 fwd leg have elongated mounting holes, or are they like oem with perfectly round? the reason i ask is that i'm replacing my springs and struts. i'm set on oem springs, and undecided on struts. if the gr2's have eccentrics, i will need to pay for an alignment.
a little history....... my 90 leg fwd would wear the inside of the rear tires and the outside of the fronts. this,i contributed to the rear sagging. i replaced the rear springs and struts w/oem and the tire wear was perfectly even. this is the same effect i would like to see when replacing all 4 in my 92. i would also like the added dampening of the gr2's if they didn't require re-alignment. any help would be appreciated....thanks in advance-------------speedoboy31

rear they are both round, front the tops are elongated for camber adjustment. On pretty much every Subaru ever. Camber doesn't really cause an increase in tire wear, especially for the settings the stock adjusment bolts allow. If your tires are experiencing odd wear it it because of a toe-related problem.

camber has a direct effect on toe. also,camber alone will cause tire wear. I'm a 12 year auto technician,but don't have access to a good alignment rack @ present. been on my own for 6 years. just wasn't sure about the kyb's.......thanks for the kyb info!!!!!

yeah I suppose if you had them maxed out positive you'd wear off the outsides of the tires pretty quickly. I have somewhere around -2 degrees up front and I suspect they'll wear pretty evenly. Actually I'm going to get the alignment checked this week.
