opinnions on these?

[xavierb]

yeah 205/40 is another option. Ive had problems with sixthsphere, made an account and posted an intrp but i never got approved so i kinda just gave up but i have heard that it can be really helpful

[saturnstance]

Maybe try 205/40's, it's slightly smaller and won't give you a ton of stretch. Anything between -2 and -4 as far as your camber goes will look decent, anything past that would be over kill. If you haven't already check out sixthsphere.com. It's where I picked up a lot of my parts for my old car and a lot of knowledgeable guys over there.

My thoughts exactly, then again I'm not a fan of crazy poke..so yeah.

yeah i got way too much poke up front thats just because i had to get spacers to clear the brakes. The over fenders im ordering friday should cure that.

What is your current tire size? They look beefy.

im running 205/45 on 16 in wheels. Its the smallest size americas tires would put on for me, needless to say ill be ordering my tires my self for the next set and im thinking 195/45 cause i want some stretch. With the coils i might camber out the back a bit more but im not a huge fan of crazzzy camber.

Im also going to be getting some 1/2in hub spacers for the rear. I found someone who makes them for $50 on a satur forum.

Modifying the subaru coilovers wouldn't be a bad option, can't disagree there. A smaller tire and a touch but more camber would have you sitting just right. Keep it simple and you're golden.

Nah not too much some extending of a lower mount hole and the top plates

[xavierb]

Save your money and buy wrx coils. Only like $500

really? damn yeah thanks for pointing that out youre right. I might as well do it right. Making them fit doesnt require too much modification?

[xavierb]

I was thinking some monroe air struts i found for cheap ($122 for 4) so probably those until i save enough for coils, coils will happen this summer when im working full time and bringing in more money. Originally I was thinking some adjustables for a WRX but for that price I could have coils. I just need sometjing better than OEM so that I can carry people and tools at work wothout bottoming out on the dirt roads I have to drive on....

I know its not ideal, but itll have to do temporarily

[bsweitzer99]

What struts? Save and get coilovers

[xavierb]

Yeah Im gonna go with the all red It looks good.

UPDATE: Patiently waiting for my over fenders, lights and clutch parts....Already have another cart full on ebay with parts to order for the next pay check, struts, header, exhaust should be next and Ive started cleaning up the interior trying to decide what to do.

[bsweitzer99]

Haha yeah do all red tails that's what I did.
