Yeah, because I'm not fully compressing my suspension ever.

They aren't maxed out at all, they have plenty to go. I also have lowering springs that ride great but the ride height with them is disgusting looking to me
stock wheels obviously and springs on the top and the bottom pic is before moar low |

Everyone has their own preferences. Being low is not everyones cup of tea. That being said, by lowering your vehicle significantly, will inevitably rub. Also, ride comfort will be affected. It just comes with the territory.

Nameless muffler-delete on the way, as well as Subaru OEM window visors and hood protector. Excited to finally start modifying my 08 LR 2.5i sedan...contemplating pursuing a set of 08 STI springs and struts I came across. Would this be worth it? My main Goal would just be to lessen wheel gap. Would this be noticeably lower than what we've got stock?

I'm sure plenty of you have installed subs but have any of you replaced the OEM satellite speakers? I'm thinking about replacing them while I'm at it. Also considering a back seat sub rather than a trunk one

The problem is your wheel's offset (+35)... way too low. JourdanWithaU has 17x9 +45 (I believe)... the proper offset for Subaru. |

+35 can work. But you'd need an aggressive alignment. Somewhere in the range of -3* of camber in the front. Stock linkage should workout in the rear. |

Yes, I've replaced the stock speakers with a pioneer component system up front and 2 ways in the rear. Modified the stock speaker to work as an adapter. Otherwise you have to buy the adapters online...

I have -2 in the front and -3 in the rear, only problem is my turning radius in the front because of my tire hitting my fender liner |

Its all about trial and error man. Maybe you just need a bit more of a pull or play with the alignment. Or bag it haha

You can even put a new head unit and it drastically improves the stock speakers lol

I wouldn't bother replacing HU without a speaker upgrade though.. Stock speakers are absolute garbage.. Just really really bad unless you have the "upgraded" stock speakers that are the two way silver looking things which I guess are pretty good from what people say.
Polk DB are a good cheap replacement, but I had them and upgraded to Alpine SPR-60 and the difference is pretty big in sound quality. For a coaxials they are pretty damn good. I have them amped with 150w RMS each up front though. I think they need an amp. If no amp, maybe the Polks would be better. http://www.crutchfield.com/p_107DB65...io-db651s.html Last edited by BWX; 06-19-2013 at 11:10 PM. Reason: added link |
