Default Back in a Subaru

After a few years of being Impreza free, I picked this up today. The ride is shocking but plan to sort the bc coil overs asap. Also getting shot of the wheels. I’m not fan.

Well done lad. Seen that on eBay a few times. I quite like the alloys abit different.

But I would most likely change them after abit myself.

Are the arches extended or is it just the alloys that are giving that effect?

Cheers, yeah he told me had it up a couple of times and got massed about with the winning bidder. They’re wide track arch extenders and rear bumper. The camber on the coil overs is shocking. Got the standard wheels with it too.
it was a 485 miles round trip. Bouncy journey home.

Of course you want suspension sorted. I bought a Escort XR3i years ago lad had lowered it on springs, camber wax awful.

That’s the one. 82,000 miles. Going to try and get a standard wrx bonnet scoop, standard recirc valve as it has terrible sounding dump valve. Sort the suspension bringing up a good bit so I can get it in my drive. I’ll probably sell the wheels. Not my cup of tea although I’ve seen them in a grey colour and look okay.

Adjust the dampening on your coil overs, can make such a massive difference.

Also congrats on the new car

I believe the wheels for anyone interested are 3dsm wheels, not worth an awful lot, quite cheap in comparison to most wheels these days tbh. They are more of a VW scene thing
