you guess it. Just using the FB strut tops

sen2two · 04-04-2010, 09:00 PM

sweet... I thought about doing this to my Rx2. but when i measured the frame width, i found out its not even close to possible. sucks for me... good for all 1st gen owners.

well for the purpose of rally, i wont be using the FB tops due to issues with the spring seat. I am going to use subaru tops i believe for cheaper and easier reasons. Once im not a poor ass, i should have the front damper assemblies ordered.

Using the front cradle bolt does that move the 2nd gen cradle forward any? I was wondering because i saw some where else that you have to cut out and re position both or it moves the front wheels to far forward.

any updates on this?

Whizbang · 02-23-2011, 10:25 AM

actually kinda sorta yes. i ended up redoing the whole process on a different shell. But i used the FB springs (eibachs granted but stock should be similiar) and the tops on the FC strut. ill get pics here once its done.

Whizbang · 02-23-2011, 02:23 PM

ill probably make an updated video once the whole this is finished. Which should be soon. I just need some cursed FC 4 lug hubs!
