gf8 coilovers
Hi all. I need a definitive answer.
Are all gf8 sti coilovers the same as gc8?
I am looking at hsd or bc but was told they may be different so any help would be great they are for a sti v5 wagon

Hi Tim
GF8(Wagon) coilovers not sure if they exist or has been made,only saloon/sedan(GC8) coilovers are made which you can use on yours wagon
We running sedan/saloon(GD) on our wagon(GGA) without the problem,they will fit without the problem,just you will need to use on wagon camber bolts

Cheers jura I was hoping you would reply as you are the wagon 'goto' man
Where would I get the camber bolts?
Also on a side issue im looking at lowering quite a bit, I know people will hate etc but what is the widest 18 " wheel I can fit if I have the arches rolled??

Hi Tim
Camber bolts selling like Camskill or other suppliers(speak to Alyn@AS Performance),you can go with Eibach or WhiteLine,both of them will do job nicely
If you looking at lowering yours more,I would go with Roll Centre/bump steer kit with this kit you should be have still great handling and have still lowered car
About the widest wheels which you can fit under arches,not sure on classic,but think you should be OK with 9.5Jx18,but on this I would ask Mags,I'm sure he will able to help you with the best wheel size.
If you want go with wider and lower offset wheels you will need have look on ABW arches,seen only one wagon,which has look awesome(wish something similar is on New age wagons)

I did think about the abw arches but decided against them. I was going to get my stnd arches rolled by a bodyshop and wanted the wheels flush for the ' stanced ' look
I will pm maggs see what he has to offer.
If I can go fairly wide with the wheels on standard ish arches I was thinking xxrs with a nice concave to the spokes

Hi Tim
If you thinking go with XXR 9.75 with low offset,I would suspect they will stick out more than wheels which we have fitted(Rota or DRAG),then only option will be to run very aggressive camber(I would say at front at least -2.50 and at rear -2.00,but think maybe more will be needed) and this can ruin yours handling
But as I said you will see and I would before fitting try them,its worth to do so
