Finishing up a swap got 3 questions
98 RS with 06 STI everything except I need all new suspension.
I think I can use any 05+ sti strut for the sti hubs. The springs, I think will be for the sti struts. The top hats will be sti in the front but for the rear I dont know. So... does anyone have the part numbers for what rear top hats I will need? I found a thread that said older legacy ones will work. However they are listed for right and left side, nobody mentioned that they were different from one side to the other. Secondly the brake lines. I want stainless steel brake lines. What modle do I buy for? The RS or the STI? I doubt it even matters. Lastly for the steering. I have it all hooked up but have some binding. Can I just cut out a 1/4 to 1/2 inch of the linkage between the colum and the rack and weld it back together?

1. I would use 05 STI coilovers and run GC pillow ball top mounts.... or if you want a proper handing car, get the front hubs machined to take 5x100 shocks, and run GC suspension of your preference. I found that GD valved suspensions suck on GC, and took this root - very happy now
2. use STI ss lines, I asume you have brembos anyway 3. what's up with the binding? you should't have any problems, I would not cut and weld pieces connected to your steering |
