Dumb Question Thread!

Not if thats what was installed by the manufacturer. i.e. Range Rover's, Citreon's old Legacy's etc.

Some leones had bags aswell.

well, changing the ride height with same dampening makes sense to require a cert if going stupidly low, but with the dampening you can drastically change the way a car handles... i dano i just see dampening as possibility to cause more issues than ride height....

Will 2 Pot rear brakes off of a V2 with R160 diff bolt up to a V5 WRX?

If they wont bolt on will Kartboy adapters work?

V2 DID NOT come with 2 pot rears factory, so the person you bought them from must've used adapters. You probably could ask them to get the adapter from them to use/sell them to you if not in use to them or maybe take them to an engineer shop and get them copied? probably gonna cost you half what the kart boy adapter!

[Johnnynz]

Havent got them yet, but there coming with Hubs I believe so I should be able to make it work pretty easy.

Cheers.

[funkytown]

if they come with hubs then all direct bolt up easy johnny.

GL extracting ur rear axles though.. lol... such a cnut!!! job

[G-unit]

but yes those adapters are wat im wanting 2 make them fit, also need larger discs

dont confuse your r160 hubs that require the adaptors. and the r160 hubs Johnny will have... He has the ones that will allow direct 2 pot fitment. and obviously come with the rotors all ready to go.

[G-unit]

oh god never knew there were 2 different type of r160s, guess im in the rite thread to ask what is the difference?

[QRAF]

and a dumb question does a nz new have a r160?

Ha ha seems to be a bit of a nightmare for what is essentially a cosmetic mod. I am doing exactly the same thing as you putting it on a V5 but you have the STI and I am doing it on the WRX. Oh well in for a penny in for a pound.

[funkytown]

its not hard. you guys just dont listen... iv written this change up on cs a million times.

its easy as pie if you apply simple rules

some V8+ wrx came/comes with 4pot fronts and 2pot rears (i think it was an add-on optional when buying a new JDM wrx) thoes still had R160 diff/hubs, but their hubs has the correct mounting for the rear 2pots but still uses the 290mm rear rotors with 170mm E-brake shoes.

Yours v6? should have the same rotor (290mm with 170mm shoes) but your hubs would be different, so in order to put rear Subaru 2pot you either need a V8+ hub off a wrx that came with 2pot rears OR use adapters.

yup i know that also some ver7 WRX got 2pot rears also, thats what ive been looking for

[Johnnynz]

To Funky btw.

Yup and I have done the searches and read the write ups. But its still pretty confusing with most of those threads having someone piping up disputing whats been said. But I am pretty sure I have it nailed now.

Still an intimidating mod for someone who has never removed a hub before mate. Some of us aren't quite so willing to jump in with both feet and have a go or lucky enough to have someone near by to help if a mistake is made but are getting there

Not having a dig bro, just pointing out you have done it before hence it is now easy and from your write ups you have been lucky enough to have another set of eyes on a lot of your work. Wish I did to, if all else fails someone there to look at at it and brainstorm with can be massive help.

Appreciate the CS help though, thats massive to.

[funkytown]

il make a whole locked down write up for it

if you ask nice il try to chuck in some pics

adbul...not strictly correct

none taken johnny but fwiw i worked out the hole swap by myself including lsd swap and axle complications.

- Asking nicely -

Would be much appreciated Jon.

While were talking this sort of thing I have noticed the club has a massive wealth of knowledge that isnt logged anywhere. We all know someone who has done pretty much every Subi mod going but so few are written down let alone with photos.

Maybe to encourage more writeups the club could offer free membership for a year to people who create a certain number of accurate how to writeups?

The bigger number of writeups would probably increase membership there by vindicating the extra club funds spent on free memberships...

Just a thought.

- Edit -

Smarter/braver (or both) than me Jon

[funkytown]

was a good few weeks walking though while i got there!!!! ;D

im also in the same boat, good mate of mine is a mechanic who now lives 2 hours away and was a great help/ done alot for me, but now its just me and best part is, the wife use's the sti most days and i cant have it in bits not knowing what to do next but yes funky pics would be a huge help,

cheers bud
