coilovers

Post by nickk248 »

I just purchased some used Buddyclub Racing Spec Coilovers from a 02+ WRX. I am wondering if i will need to modify these in any way to make them fit my 93 ss.

you will have to change the rear strut tops to something that fits your car.

Also you will have a lack of negative camber all around.

Good point, Jamal, but I'm gonna wager that he doesn't know or care about neg camber. The guy just wants coilovers. Good point about the strut top, I forgot that part.

You could use rear camber bolts or notch the coilover housings...

whiteline bolts have a huge markup. Ingalls or intrax or whatever are the same thing and much less. Just make sure they're the ones with an actual cam and not a little nub stuck on the side of the bolt.
