HaydenMonroe Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I have a completely stock 89 XT and hate the fender gap. Are there and struts I can take off another subaru that would fit and lower my car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wentz912 Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Is your car 4wd or 2wd? 4 or 6 cylinder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydenMonroe Posted April 26, 2012 Author Share Posted April 26, 2012 Is your car 4wd or 2wd? 4 or 6 cylinder? Push button 4wd. 4 cylinder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subynut Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 The fronts you can use 2WD XT struts. The rears are a little more involved. There's two options: coilovers or ground control springs. There's many different ways to do it. Also check out http://subaruxt.com/forum/ and read up what they have done to lower theirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKghandi Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 i believe you can also flip the rear strut tops to lower it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subynut Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Yes, those will lower the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wentz912 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Those will lower the front, and I have some spare coils for the rear and some adjustable sleeves that you could pick up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydenMonroe Posted April 28, 2012 Author Share Posted April 28, 2012 (edited) Ok awesome. Thanks guys. Do you know how much it will lower the front end. Also thinking of getting H&R lowering springs. Edited April 28, 2012 by HaydenMonroe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wentz912 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 And not to pimp my stuff for sale here in a tech forum, but I'm going to have some 14" pugs for sale here before too long, if you're interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nncoolg Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 If you do get some 2wd XT front struts, please make a note of the part numbers before you fit them. I've had trouble finding them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
