  • Subaru Stance Dreamin'

    Sup Stanceworks? My names Andy all the way from little ol' New Zealand
    Decided i'd show you guys what stage im at so far. Car is a 1995 Subaru Legacy Sw 250t which is equivalent to Usa's Lx wagon?
    * some photos may be of shit quality so bare with me *
    Anyway im only focusing on suspension/handling so its going to be low & slow

    This is what i started out with.





    Then got my D2 coilovers installed.



    Test fitted my 16" steelies i had, didn't have tires tho so couldn't put them on
    They are 2001 VW Beetle steelies, 16x6.5 et42 but running 20mm spacers bringing them to et22



    Painted my standard wheels Satin Black, went lower and 20mm spacers all around but not as low as you other guys because in NZ you have to get coilovers certified to be able to use your car and at this stage i hadn't done this so didnt want too much attention from the 5-0.







    Finally got average tires for my steelies and black was not going to cut it so colour change.



    Got around to cut wheel studs down and put on the steelies, after some rolling and hammering it was time to cruise out to a meet where i got my picture taken.



    And other photos i took today.






    The steelies have a 'decent' stance for not being widened due to the offset. The plan is to continue to roll on steelies, maybe lower it some more, bigger spacer in the back and in the future to look for some 3 piece 15" rims.

    Most likely heard it before but im a student and cannot dump all my money into this, for example my meaty tires do the job without costing to much.

    Thanks guys!

            Thanks guys! Yea i was only thinking 15s because the tire options are best where as for 16s the narrowest i have found is 205/50. Im on the North Shore bro, i may have seen you around? Where abouts do you reside?

                    Yea mate, you on the shore aswell?

                    Well when i first put on my steelies i was in such a rush to fix the tire rubbing i use the 'fuck it' method and rolled and pulled with a set of pliers. Result = terrible but driveable. Anyway today i stripped back one guard where the damage was so i could get a better look at it. While stripping one guard i found that it had filler in it so may end up taking as much filler out and try my hands at shaping the guards, filler and colour match as best i can. Pics are below





                    Will update as much as i can.

                          Yea i was going to paint the steelies white, but thought id try a colour that would stand out alot more.

                          Weather was great today so me and mates went out for a photoshoot, these are their cars, so if you want any info on them just ask.



                          Me and my mates GTB, factory twin turbo wagon



                          And finally the best photo i think i have ever taken!
