Hi,

Just bought myself an imported 94 WRX sport wagon, tried to get it on a hoist but it was so low I couldn't, since then I have had my suspension adjusted up by about an inch, ride height is great, but its like sitting in a roller skate cos the springs are now more compressed.

I think the suspension is costco (thought that was a supermarket) at least thats what it says on the top mounts. The suspension is so hard it makes the car a pain rather than pleasure to drive, The top mounts are amodised blue aliuminium with adjustable camber and clatter really badly even driving over a painted white line, let alone a bump in the road!

Subaru want £75 a corner for rubber top mounts really and truly I just want to swap my super hard suspension for some standard kit, anyone got any for sale, wanna swap e.tc., i'm in Kent.

Cheers

Try speaking to HDC Subaru or Grade A (both salvage companies specialisiing in Subaru). They sometimes get standard STI suspension (version 5 or 6 are seen as very good) which would be better. They should also be able to provide top mounts.

No idea of cost but probably about the same price as just top mounts from a Subaru dealer.

thanks Dave i'll give them a call, anyone else got any ideas

 

whereabouts in kent are you?
I have a set of standard 93 wrx suspension legs in the garage...Im also running CUSCO coilovers....based in Kent also (medway area)

I am in Dover, but thanks to Dave, got onto one of the breakers, got a set for £220, but nnow I need to sell my old suspension, d'ont suppose you know anyone that might be interested ?


Cheers,

Stick it on ebay - that sort of suspension works much better on the track and is sought after.

 

Give me a shout once they're off the car. Got a mate who might be interested, depending on the condition.

Cheers.

 

I have some STi RA front top mounts that can be yours for only £40 inc postage

 

Glad you got sorted out. The Cusco stuff should be worth about £300-500 depending on its condition and mileage (its about £1500-2000 new). So you should make a profit

Oh and remember to get your geometry set up properly once the other stuff is fitted, it will make it handle so much better.
