Hanger Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 My 2013 2.5i 6mt was 50/50 F/R. My 2005 2.5i was 60/40 or something. Front biased Sent from my Xperia Z ○ ○ ○ Instagram: itshangertime :spin: ○ ○ ○ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyt88 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 ^^^ keep in mind that the 3.6R has a 45/55 power split F/R. GTEASER mentioned to me that the 2.5GT has a 50/50 F/R. And, I know that the 2.5i has a 50/50 split. Handling is a little different. At least they come with bracing. They should make the GT like the 3.6R. I currently, am running an 02 WRX, with a 6-speed swap, with out a DCCD controller. This causes it to default to 35/65 F/R power split. I consider that my primary list of "handling mods" the car has springs, and mild RSB upgrade, but handles better than any subaru I have ever driven. Also makes for extra fun in the snow!

fredrik94087 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 ^^^ rear biased AWD makes most sense to me. Your split seems ideal for street use. Not bashing the 50/50. I'm so used to a RWD only handling.

ncfree Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Ping my main man Rick of Underdog Motorsports. http://legacygt.com/forums/member.php?u=10142 He's a zen-level suspension guru and he's got awesome pricing on all these. For the endlinks, I'd vote for the Whiteline adjustables: http://www.whiteline.com.au/product_detail4.php?part_number=KLC172 http://www.whiteline.com.au/product_detail4.php?part_number=KLC182 See what Rick tells you. For your 2012, I'd recommend: 2013+ stock FSB (26mm, nice and bulky for the heavy H6) and a Whiteline 22mm RSB (set to medium or highest setting). Night and day difference from stock and these two complement each other nicely (even better than a 2010-2012 stock 23mm FSB + any beefier-than-stock 19+ mm RSB). Stock Front: 23mm Stock Rear: 16mm 2013+ Front: 26mm Outback/'STI' Rear: 19mm Alright. Just picked up the 22mm whiteline rear and the 2013 stock 26mm front. Also ordered some poly bushings for the front and here we go. Also so when I ordered the front bushings through the guys at rally sport direct they said I'm supposed to just order the 26 mm for the 26 mm bar but the oem ones are actually 25mms. Anyone know about this? The guy said that the whiteline just runs truer to size that you don't have to size down...?

faded-a-fool Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 The bushings should be 1mm smaller correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncfree Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 The bushings should be 1mm smaller correct? That's what I thought. But the guys said no? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redstriker Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Can someone confirm that the struts and shocks is the same for our gen as the 08+ wrx/sti and the BRZ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTEASER Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 (edited) The Rears are identical based on my (and others) install of the Koni Yellows for and 08+ WRX. I believe that the fronts struts are going to be different than ours because on the 08+ WRX the spring perch sits approximately 1/2" lower on the strut body. Don't know about STi fronts, but the rear should work. I heard that something was different about those front strut bodies because of the 5x114 hub that the STi uses. BRZ is going to have completely different shock valving, so I would stick with WRX stuff. Why you ask? What are you thinking?

redstriker Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 The reason I ask is that a friend mentioned that a company has done rear top hats for the BRZ. I wanted to know if everything stock is the same, therefore I could possibly find, buy and install those rear top hats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTEASER Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 (edited) Rear tophats can't be used for camber adjustment, so why wouldnt you just stick with what you have?

redstriker Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I was curious. Also, whitline has made an adjustable rear LCA for the bra, which should be able to fit onto our gen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GravityGear Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Ast 4150s have arrived at 7L... now I need springs. Doing a custom setup next friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncfree Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Anyone else ever had trouble with their steering after lowering? I threw on hnr springs. For some reason the bearing on top of the shock/spring goes out. (Strut mount?) I don't know the name for it. It's the one with the three screws under the hood. Anyways. This is the second time this has happened. It happened like a week after I lowers it where it sits and pops as I turn left. It was the drivers side. And so the place that installed the springs replaced it and it went away. Now three months later it's started again. Also. I've replace the front and rear sway bars. Whiteline 22 in the back. Stiffest setting. And 2013 oem bar up front with oem bushings. It seems to ride really hard up front. Like ever bump I go over on the road, it sounds like the front end is gonna break of. And feels like it too. It shudders really. Anyone ever had these problems? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTEASER Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 I am on H&R also for the last 7 months, maybe 10k miles or so and no problems. Took it all apart once to install the springs and then took it apart again about 5k miles ago to install the Koni Yellow shocks. No problems at all. Between the upper front spring perch and the tophat, there is a bearing and a cupped washer. Those need to be installed correctly with the curved part of the washer facing up toward the tophat and the bearing on top of it. Order of install, perch on spring, cupped washer (curved side up), bearing, tophat, bolt it all together. It sounds like your installer may have installed the washer upside down or the bearing on the perch with the washer on top of it.
