Hi,

Lowered springs sooner than later

Otherwise, nice car.

[Sam]

Those rims would suit the car WAY better if the car was lowered!

[Josh.]

hopefully ill lower it in the next few weeks. only problem is the rear wheels scrub on the wheel guards already so ill have to figure out how to fix that

[aekOne]

welcome to suby club josh

getting you guards rolled will sort out your scrubbing issues

[Sam]

54,000kms? Wow! Whats on it now? I bought mine with 70k, been doing a stack of highway driving, owned it for a year and now done 95,500kms.

[Ben_20EJT]

Joisus!!!

just wait till you see it mate.... all ill say.


get some LOW for this lib, i no a guy the is selling sprins if they havnt been sold already.

[Josh.]

It's just hit 85 000km today.
How much does he want for the springs? I hope rolling the guards is enough because it hits just behind the rear doors.
I think it needs a SubyClub sticker too

pretty sure i gave u my parking ticket yesterday at uni.. alriteeeee!! hahha

[FR34KO]

welcome mate! Car looks good. Ive got the same colour... would love to see a wagon with darkened tails: (and side indicators too)

Would look sweet imo!

as is the general consensus; LOW asap.. roll guards. I find it disturbing its rubbin when its so high of the guards.. mine will only rub with a full car and going >30k's round a corner, i think. and its not too low, think they're stock..

look forward to seeing how your lib progresses!!

Are you sure it's not scrubbing on the strut? What size tyres do you have? I'd think you'd have to be ripping up the hand brake at about 70k/h to scrub the guards!

haha yeah you did, thanks heaps for that. you have such a nice impreza

yeah its definitely not the struts, heaps of room before they hit them. the wheels just have a massive offset,
the tyres are 215/35R18 because 225/40R18 scrubbed just going around corners. they don't seem to scrub the top of the guards just the on the side of the front of the car. ill take a photo of it when i get home from work.

[skillionaire]

Hi,

I'm massively confused right now, which is nothing new. But I ran 225's all round on my gen3 and she was much lower than that. How soft is your setup?

Are you saying you're hitting the inner guard?

Cheers,
Nik

[Sam]

In my old civic, the wheels would hit the front of the rear guard. This might be the problem?
