As above really especially new ages any problems you have encountered fitting and usability because its a wagon . Toying with the idea my self . Thanks in advance .

 

Hi there

Depends on more factors would say

We are went with coilovers on our wagon,because we are planned to use our wagon on the track and for more alloys/wheels choice(on standard suspension fitting Rota 9JX18" with 245/40 or 9JX17" is little bit harder,in some cases impossible)

Usability of our wagon has been killed with Exedy Twin plate and we are decided use our wagon only as weekend/track toy,but still our wagon is lowered and we can go via any speed bump in London

I must say,something like specific Wagon Coilovers doesn't exist,only Saloon/Sedan coilovers are available,which will fit,but if you are planning to run wider wheels would suggest fit rear camber bolts

Cheers Jura
Helpful advise as usual. I won't be going much wider than standard and plan to use it as normal including loading the boot up for trips to the tip or the wife's shopping .

 

I run BC's on mine with rota force 9j wheels - 225/40/18 tires...I had to roll the arches in order to fit the wheels and fit uprated camber bolts to the front - but not to rear as we found I had enough clearence for the height it's currently sitting.

However like Jura has said camber bolts will be a must for the rear if wanting to go lower.

Car is a 2003 blob eye BTW..

 

You should be OK with coilovers if you are looking use car as normal/daily car.We are used car daily with coilovers for few months and has been spotless

Just would recommend,if you have friend which running Coilovers would recommend try them

If you are looking lowering the wagon,have look on the Roll centre kit, which selling like WhiteLine or Apex Performance,this kit really worth the money

Good luck there

Cheers guys it was the bc kit I'm looking at seem good for the money but deffo getting front and rear camber bolts too

 

We are running only front camber bolts which allowed us to run more camber at front(on wagon with coilovers you will be limited with camber adjustment,in our case we can only run -1.45,now we are running with camber bolts -2.00 at front)

Rear camber bolts would recommend only at point if your rear shock doesn't have camber plates or camber adjustability and you want to run more camber,in our case we don't need to run,because our have camber plates or camber adjustability and we should run around -2.5

Just don't forget on the Wheel alignment


Jura

 

Which camber bolts are you using to get 2 degrees? The only kits I can find run +/-1.75 and that isn't enough.

Thanks

 

What coilovers you are running ?

Do you have on your coilovers camber plates ?


Jura

 

iv just bought a 04 wagon with fully adjustable coilover suspention setup with adjustable camber but i havnt got a clue what this means.its my first impreza and im no good with cars.can some1 put it in to dummy terms for me please

 

Iv got bc fully adjustable coilovers on my 55 wagon with no problems at all .!

 

Basically imagine these two lines l l are your car wheels viewed from behind, camber makes them look like this / \ so that when you corner under load, instead of doing this \ / they go more like this l l which gives you a bigger contact patch on your tyres and better grip.

 

thanks for that mate im sure il catch on to all this car stuff lol
