bratclay Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Hello everyone, I have my first brat excited bout buildin it. First gotta get it runin LOL. But I was reading somewhere that they can be lifted 1" without anything. But I havin found how. I was thinkin I would just build me the 2" lift kit cuz that would be plenty for me. I am gettin a set of 14" pugs to put on it. I can weld and fab. I just need some good drawings or plans that you guys have done. Thanks for everyones help. Gotta love the subi community gang here.

Pooparu Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 I can show you when we swap parts. It's not that hard, but you do end up with a bit of a camber problem with the spring lift. Here's a photo of mine with a 4in lift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bratclay Posted December 4, 2010 Author Share Posted December 4, 2010 thanks for the tip on liftin the back more by clockin the arms. I will try and make me some blocks this weekend so I can get it lifted next week. To clarify, I need to cut 1" at 15* each end out of 2x2x.25 tubesteel and drill 7/16 holes centerline. Then weld a 7/16 bolt to the top and install pushing the strut inwards towards the motor? Thanks everyone for all your help in my brat. Hopefully I can get GD to bring his ecm out next week and see if thats whats wrong and get it running so I can start driving it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bratclay Posted December 29, 2010 Author Share Posted December 29, 2010 I was thinkin bout something. What bout doin a small 2" lowering of the subframes and doin the 4" strut drop on the front. You'll get the 4" lift but keeping the subframe alittle higher for better ground clearance. It would be just like doin the 2" lift but you'll be lifted 4". What do you think subi gang?

If you read through some of the other posts on the subject, EA81 axles do not take well to being stressed. You have to lift everything pretty much the same to maintain the stock axle geometry.

Cuz I have a complete set all 4 from the loyale I got the 5sp d/r from. Thanks Clay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
