Thanks to all for the info and help along the way. After 1 failed attempt at getting those darn 19mm strut bolts off my friend and myself went to town on them with a 17" breaker bar and a 3 ft. cheater bar. Well they were pretty much no match. The install went fairly well aside from finding out the top of the front struts swivel on bearings but that was easy to figure out what goes where by looking at the other side and one dropped nut that was fished out of the bay with a wire. Took around 4 hours to complete the job but this was our first attempt at doing anything with struts let alone something this technical to our cars. Had to take her out for a spirited ride last night just down the road. First impressions were excellant. Aside from the lowered front/rear stance which is perfect I was very surprised by the ride, deffinately an upgrade. It felt stiffer yet wasn't jarring and just reacted very well when pushed through a corner. More time will tell of course. And yes lame post without pics so i'll get them up later today.....after a scenic drive of course. Now for an alignment. Anyone recommend a good setup to go with? Shop that does a good job? I'm in Maple Grove so somewhere in the are would be best if possible. These numbers are from Prodrive I believe, sound good? If you have any suggestions i'd love to hear them. 02 WRX. I have no idea what these numbers and what they'll feel like on the road so any help would be appreciated. Front Camber 1° 15" Tracking 0° 02" (0.2mm) toe in each wheel Rear Tracking 0° 01" (0.1mm) toe in each wheel
I dunno about those #'s. Personally I went with -1.5 camber, 0 toe in the front and -1.1 camber, 0 toe in the rear. Big difference. But my allignment was all fubar. So, depending where you're at now(if all out of whack) depends on how big of an improvement it will make later.
