ejoy1220 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 That is interesting. I think I'll try the extra perches first, and if they're not high enough, I'll look into these spacers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaceComp Engineering Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Shane....this would be awesome if you could put something together like this....some of our Bilstein HD customers are wanting this!

paranoid56 Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 yea, the two studs as these would go on top of the tophats like in the imprezas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bosco Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 yea, the two studs as these would go on top of the tophats like in the imprezas. i think i see what your trying to do or then again maybe not are you wanting to use a spacer on top of the top hat? if thats the case then longer studs (they just press in) and you could make the spacer pretty much as thick as you need. bosco Stay Stock Stay Happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zed 2.0 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Or you could just install properly designed suspension And what setup would that be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBT Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I think that this would be the way to go, versus adding an additional spring pad in the mix. Somehow, the thought of two extra "soft" components in the rear suspension, doesn't inspire confidence.
