Coilover setup on the cheap
Yeah well, I would love to be able to get the RE-SPEED one, but considering the 3 to 1 currency rate, the taxes and shipping... its a no-no
So, I got a set of ebay subaru impreza coilovers from a friend that didnt like them, and started to work. I made a grylon bushing, but ended up being too hard to slip over the strut, so I cutted it in two. From there on, everything went well. I used a dremmel on the lower part of the threaded sleeve and trimmed to math the strut part it stands on. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Wow that is amazing. I've been pondering how to get a gravel suspension setup for my 1st gen. If impreza pieces can be made to work, jackpot!

Looks like it should work out pretty well man. Its a drag that you had to go through all that trouble due to border issues though. Let us know how it handles once you get the motor in and running...

I'm with Kentetsu on this one. I think its horrible that you have to go through all the troubles of being in a different country, but definitely some great work there.
