Queries: Suspension, Gearbox...
Evening guys hope your all well, have some following queries open for advice and experiences, recently back from Bob Rawle and after a remap and a revisit for a tweak car has made 341bhp with 352ft
Car is currently on 18s with standard suspension and rubs even with bends, please advise for suspension set ups, I have a new age rear sub frame,new lower arms, lateral arms, trailing arms, wishbones, arbs, diff cradle, prop guard all awaiting powder coating and rebushing the lot. I have the 4.44 sti box and diff, but with the ever lasting strive for more power, going forward I was thinking of fitting them reinforcement plates or blast plates I'm unsure of what the exact name for them is, does anyone else have these and what powers are we running on our 5 speeds. Generally the car is running like a dream very happy with Bobs service he's provided, car was mapped 3 weeks ago but I forgot to take my swrd 3 port bs so he kindly said if I bring it back to him he would tweak it for me, which was done Monday just gone, as always any help and advice welcome regards aaron. |
Is it rubbing front and rear?
What wheel width and et What tyres and size? Are the wheel arches pulled/rolled? What's the camber set at, front and rear? |

You'll have to roll and pull the arches and use a less compliant suspension - coilovers. Maybe adjustable camber plates as well.
With a compliant suspension, no arch work and sensible camber (1deg30-45mins front, 1deg rear) I work on 205-215 (225 is sometimes OK, depends on the tyre) 7-7.5j 53-48et https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...ff3d6031d3.jpg 225/45 x 17 |

You could use 7.5 x18 et48 with a 215/40 tyre (as @MattyB1983 below). Your 225/40 might clear.

As previously mentioned, your current et35 wheels will require pulling/rolling the arches, coilovers - and, most likely, adjustable camber plates, front and rear.
The more compliant set-up's I've suggested, will clear 18's - if you must have 18's. Regardless of the wheel diameter, I'd suggest Whiteline kca335 front, offset, top mounts Subaru Impreza (GC, GF) - Whiteline Front Strut mount (offset bearing) - Inc. WRX, STi (MY94-00) - Suspension - Subaru Impreza - Subaru - Shop By Car and Subaru Impreza WRX RA & STI RA 92-00 Genuine Rear Top Strut Mounts at the rear. If you want to use your current 225/40 18 tyres, on a 7.5 et53-48 wheel, you'll have to try them for rubbing - tyres rarely measure the width on the sidewall. The P11L springs, 194lb/in 157lb/in, will work with all the struts above. The WR15R/T springs, 230lb/in 200lb/in, are too stiff for Excel-g's. |
