simple monkey Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 I want to run some cheap coilover suspension setup on my rx for awhile but cant find the cheap coilover conversion on ebay anymore, only the skunk2 kit or the ground control kit...also, could i run the coilover kit on stock RX shocks? it sounds better than to run on GR2s...ive searched around b ut dont fiind alot of clear answers... i currently am running ground control coil-overs on my stock shocks. i've put about 5000 miles on them with no problems. i use the coilovers for a 02-03 wrx, but i have legacy sturts in the front since i did a five lug conversion. it sits really low, no finger gap in the front, and about 1 finger in the rear, and sometimes going over huge speed bumps or in bad road conditions, it might rub a little in the front. my suggestion is to try the ground controls. i got mine for $50 off of ebay. good luck soldier.

simple monkey Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 simple monkey, are you using the wrx coilovers in the rear? and how so? yes, but i put the coilover sleeve on the top since there were some fitment issues on the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caboobaroo Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 well I was wondering about using Impreza suspension in the rear for an upgrade. I know I can put coilovers on the stock shocks, just looking for more of an upgrade;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subarutex Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Boob, this has been talked about. Remember... Impreza's and early legacy's all have struts at all 4 corners. New legacy's use a front strut, rear coilover like our cars do. In fact, my roomate happened upon some rear Legacy Outback coilovers, and they are damn near identical to ours. So... if you are 5-lugged... you want to look for new coilover suspension for the new Legacy GT. But watch out... I haven't found anything under $1000... and that was used!

Caboobaroo Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Yeah thats why I was getting a little confused because I know that most of the EJ series cars have 4 struts so I musta been getting myself all confused while looking at different parts. Hmmm, LGT coilovers..... I hear the bank breaking already:rolleyes: Boob, this has been talked about. Remember... Impreza's and early legacy's all have struts at all 4 corners.
