SnatchedHatch Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 (edited) UltimateSubaru After putting WRX struts into my Wagon, I ran into a problem with the rearstrut tower reverse-cone shape not centering in the designated chassishole, as due to my make-shift changes in the bolt-up design, it was nolonger a match. Rough fit before: Final fit with spacer: This prevented the (rear) strut from fully seating, which caused a minor side-affect, no saggy butt syndrome, but it also created positive camber (bottom of tire moved inwards = posi?). This was a huge problem as it affected the handling so, that I did not have much confidence in taking twisteys. I would have realized this if I properly prepared for the project, tutorials already describe this issue. Isettled on some saggy butt spacers from Paranoid Fabrications for the02-07 impreza top mounts I'm using, they took about two days to ship!! And, per their contact page, you can reach them on FaceBook and they did promptly reply. Ithrew them on and used some silicone grease between the spacers and tophats to prevent any unwanted noise. Worked like a charm! Rear sitshigher now, the tires are stanced properly, and honestly I have a decentamount of clearance back there now. I'm about to measure my diffclearance and post later. HANDLING IS SOO MUCH BETTER now I'm working on getting some discounts for y'all... CHA-CHING PM me for a 10% discount for your spacer needs! http://www.paranoidfabrications.com/ Hey, it's something (10% off an order I believe). Here's some pics of how it went: Edited April 24, 2015 by SnatchedHatch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
