^ ah...good to hear from you. Sorry about the misunderstanding.

Yeah I linked to this thread over on Nasioc in the part review section, hopefully it can cross-thread so we can get as much information as possible about this coilover option.

The guy named jimmy1614 said his was slammed so he could tuck his 18's.

But for your problem, that is really strange because on most Subaru's the right front is higher than the left. Good luck with troubleshooting your problem. Was your previous alignment off?

Superst@r · 06-15-2007, 06:17 PM

hey guyz,

i noticed from when i had my pinks that the right front was a lil higher than the left. i figured investing in coilovers would elimanate the prob, but not so. i really never got a good alignment and i think it will not solve it. i don't mean to highjack the thread, so........hopefully i can find a solution.

Did you take the front's off and compare?

Superst@r · 06-16-2007, 05:46 AM

no. i don't have the tools and space, but i guess i have to take the suspension apart someday soon to find out.

This should be a sticky thread!

where did you get your extenders? i have the same coilovers - good stuff. i have mine set fairly stiff on the street though. like 8 clicks from full stiff front and 12 from full stiff rear. I tried softer settings but it just didn't feel right too me. I guess I got used to a harsh ride with megan track coilovers on a 240sx

**IMPORTIMAGE** · 06-16-2007, 08:20 AM

they just came out....so we sell extenders now for $35 shipped

PS. PM me a price on the inverted coilovers for an 05 with swaybar combo, not sure what deals you are working out but I am interested. ZIP 29414

Update: Combined with the X-Brace, the ride quality of these on setting 5 out of 30 (30 being hardest) is reminding me very strongly of the BMW Z4 coupe I drove a few months back. I'm loving these coilovers.

Nah, they are an additional piece that connect to the adjustment knobs with an allen screw. Here's some pics to describe it better:

Here's the normal coilover. This is the normal adjustment knob that comes on them.

What you do is attach these:

so that you wind up with this:

Hope that explains it better, they're not necessary to buy, but if you want to make changes on the fly to the rear damping, these make it A LOT easier than removing the rear seat.
