Turbo Brat Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 (1) Will an 1984 turbo wgn rear bumper fit onto my Brat? my Brat one needs work and I am wondering if a turbo wgn one will fit till I get the Brat one fixed. (2) has any one ever put xt 6 suspension into an Gen 2 style wgn, snd, hatch or Brat? (and what would I have to do to make it fit? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they are quite a bit different. (2) has any one ever put xt 6 suspension into an Gen 2 style wgn, snd, hatch or Brat? (and what would I have to do to make it fit? ) It can be done, but it requires fab work to fit the XT6 knuckles into the existing struts, and the existing lower control arms, and requires custom axles be made as no axle exists in the correct length with the Legacy (XT6) style outer joint. Not a small job at all, and careful attention must be made to preserve correct camber. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo Brat Posted June 24, 2006 Author Share Posted June 24, 2006 thank you for that. I have an unlimeted parts supply, for any year subaru (from 78 to 06) and can just about put any thing on my brat (as long as its subaru) I just don't know how easy it is. and I wanted to see if any one had done it and if it could be done simple like. lol ( I heard it was easy just change the tops) oh well I will take a look at it when work gets the xt 6 in.
