FREE TYRES!!!

LOL... So I Picked up some 215/75r15 off an Escape today, they have about 5/32 left... Should be great for the winter...

ALSO>.. We got a trade in of an 03 WRX, that had KYB AGX on it ;) I recomended stock replacement cause i said they were "POOR RIDE QUALITY" So 2moro I will be replacing them with stockers and "Junking" the AGX (should fit in my trunk just fine) ;)

:-D

Just excited.. I'll be taking photos 2moro or Saturday with everything on my car! (NOT THE LEGACY)

Ok.... So the suspension is on...

Went to bolt on wheels/tyres

Problem.. The rear Struts spring perch hit the Tyres... Looks like I need about 3/4 of an inch radius smaller....

Thes came out to 28.1 inch Diameter.. Guess I will be looking for something closer to 26.5 .....

Ahh... I was begining to wonder if maybe the wagon struts were drasticly different


Makes sense now, didnt know you had spacers ;)

Ordering The wheel spacers next week so I can put the wheels and Tyres on...

LoL Its awesome with just the lift and normal tires! I got my payloader running better and started digging some ditches on the insides of the corners around my track and leveled out some off-camber corners... I'll get some video once I get the tyres on ;)

What suspension are you running?

KYB AGX for 02-03 WRX

and

A Super secret spring ;)

Actually in that pic, that everyone keeps quoting the car is sitting on jackstands... lol...

Current pics from today ;) I do believe this is higher than stock... And certainly handles MUCH better ;) I currently have a 650lb/in rate... I will be getting some softer springs next, probably around 185-195 lb/in, and with same height...

Looking good, be careful with the studded tires if they rub they're gonna do some damage.

I swear, I just ran the fastest lap around my course ever.. However it was still really slippery due to snow..., there is no body roll, the tyres rub the strut, but not the inner fenders, my suspension does not compress, My spring rates are too great... should be fine, and if it does roll... Oh well :FU:...
