ckgeorge Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Hey all, So, Ive been doing some searching on leveling out the front of my car with the back (front sits about 2 inches higher than back). From what I have read it looks like I just need front 2wd xt struts and springs and I should be good to go. Just seeking confirmation on if this is correct or not before I get into the project...Also, just wondering if the xt strut/spring combo is a direct bolt on or not and what year(s) will work. Thanks in advance, Chris PS. Here is a couple of pics to show the current ride height... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 If your Subie is 2WD, you can use the 4WD version of the Shock absorbers, because those has the Base for the Coil Spring, welded Two inches Up on the Shock's Body, so they will Lift your ride a Li'l bit. If your Subie is 4WD, you can also use the Coil Springs from the Front of a 1992 Honda Accord in the Rear of the Subie. More info: ~► Here. Kind Regards.

First of all, thank you for the reply... ...so, I think I will try to find me some 4wd rear shock absorbers to throw in there with the 2wd springs and I will also check out the Toyota KYB absorbers at work to see what price i can get em to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyfun Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 That's a GORGEOUS car, by the way. Black and tan. Is it 4x4 though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caboobaroo Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 4wd rear shocks are quite different in length compared to the 2wd. I would try to replace the rear springs with 4wd ones first. Should get the butt up in the air for ya:headbang: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackBoot Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 My coupe has the same issue, back end is sagging, needs new shocks. I was thinking of leaving it like that and lowering the front to match, but the ride is too rough, bottoms out on speed bumps with anything loaded in the back. So I'll be getting new shocks.

MilesFox Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 If i remember right, this car is FWD. If so, maybe it has 4wd struts in rear. The 2wd rear struts are longer because the erch on the trailing arm is lower. Try raising the rear with 2wd struts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
presslab Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Hmm, the car looks pretty level to me... The front fender arch is higher than the rear one so the wheels can turn without hitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackBoot Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Makes sense that 4wd struts are on a fwd, way more common and probably ended up on there that way. What is the difference if I am measuring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
