You wont even get that close to the ground with lowering springs... maybe with adjusties..
+1, your strut towers are too long to still be effective, you'd be basically running on the bump stops, your struts would shag themselves....
40mm is 4cm... stack a few mates into the back of your car as an indicator.
look for progressive rate springs if your budget allows...
v7 sti struts with v3??? sti wagon springs. sits the foz on its arse, handles nicely. unfortunately, only the fronts will fit in a legacy. im not sure of the best way to get a legacy closer to the ground bar lowering springs / adjustables. unless you contact (im guessing) somewhere like 41 automotive or similar and import some sti bits... $$$$$$$$!!!!!!!
Oh nice! Dont those require certs? If it does, how much is the cert?
yes, and about $500 iv aware of...
Ouch.. That's $950 all up. =\
yeah, thats y i gave up on the idea of adjusties... for now.
hahaha im an apprentice sparky, did the lowering myself. granted it was a bit easier as i did a direct strut swap. u'll need a decent spanner / ratchet set, a breaker bar, a set of spring compressors and a day if its your first time. diy, ftw. its not actually that hard, if you are somewhat mechanically minded and patient
as you arnt altering the dimensions of the afm (size of the pipe, shape etc) i would say no, i think it may more be the ecu reset.
please someone correct me if im wrong here?
don't tighten it until you cant tighten it further, that's the easiest way to fry bearings. use the belt as a reference. pull on the belt / push on the belt a little. if its a little floppy / feels loose, tighten it until it feels firm. run the car for a minute or two, then re check the belt. tighten it again if you need to.
over tightening will be an expensive nightmare, i guarantee it.
yeah, i was thinking with what iv read about externals you could get it fairly flat...
the td turbos drop off a bit too... im down to about 8psi towards redline, peaking about 14. but, iv got a manual controller at the moment, and im sure that isnt helping hahaha
