subyxx Posted July 21, 2013 Author Share Posted July 21, 2013 I need a little of help since here in Florida there is no snow and hills I would like to lower the car but I clue less since the rear it only brings a shock the car is a 87 GL 2wd 1.6. And I know I would put a lift kit but here in Florida there is not need too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idasho Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 For starters, VERY cool hatch! It looks like you snagged a good one! As far as lowering goes....how low? Short of something fairly custom, the options are pretty limited. The rear is easy, the fronts, not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mykeys Toy Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 some on here have cut a coil or two out of the springs. I have contacted Eibach and they can make custom springs for around $300 stiffer and lower if you want. I didn't ask if I could get them progressive rate though which would be nice if just cruising and stiffen when trying to be aggressive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subyxx Posted July 22, 2013 Author Share Posted July 22, 2013 Thank u guys. For the rear I will say 1.5 and the front 2. As far as the rear how easy is I only see a shock ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idasho Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 it is a coil over strut. You can chop coils all day to lower it, but in order to keep the alignment in check you will need to relocate the strut tops outward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mykeys Toy Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 How did you do the four lug conversion? And the rear should be a torsion bar and may have an adjustment bolt accessable under the rear seat. I am not sure I will take a look and get back to you.. Might be a day or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subyxx Posted July 22, 2013 Author Share Posted July 22, 2013 I did the alignment recently and as far as the front and rear I have positive camber since am running 15x8 wheel with 35 off I will try to post the number tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subyxx Posted July 22, 2013 Author Share Posted July 22, 2013 The lug convention was not easy I found a 88 wagon at the junk yard and I had to send to the machine shop to resurface the center and drill the holes at the end spend 300 but I was so desperate since I had those wheels sitting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subyxx Posted July 22, 2013 Author Share Posted July 22, 2013 The lug convention was not easy I found a 88 wagon at the junk yard and i took the drums and the spacer I had to send to the machine shop to resurface the center and drill the holes at the end spend 300 but I was so desperate since I had those wheels sitting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O.C.D. Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 The lug convention was not easy I found a 88 wagon at the junk yard and i took the drums and the spacer I had to send to the machine shop to resurface the center and drill the holes at the end spend 300 but I was so desperate since I had those wheels sitting Just so I understand, you had a 4-lug that was 4x140, right? You then took the rotors and drums off of another 4x140 Subaru and then had them machined to accept a different 4-lug pattern? Is that right? If so, what is your new lug pattern? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subyxx Posted July 23, 2013 Author Share Posted July 23, 2013 Yes O.C.D just like you said and now I have 4x100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mykeys Toy Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 OK so I finally crawled around to look for adjustment on the 2wd rear.. NONE. NADA, Zilch. The only way you are going to adjust the rear is by a reclock of the torsion bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idasho Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 No worries, reclocking the rear is easy. Way easier than keeping the front end aligned when you drop it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tincan Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Nice hatch there. Very clean for it's age. How many miles? Out of curiousity, that's $300 per spring, right? Are they fitted to stock type struts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mykeys Toy Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Out of curiousity, that's $300 per spring, right? Are they fitted to stock type struts? If that was directed at me that is $300 for the front (both sides) on stock struts..2wd struts are a bit lower to begin with but raised mine back up some because of the 4wd springs which stiffened up my ride considerably.
