Elmo 4th Gear February 17, 2009 Share February 17, 2009 (edited) Other bros please correct me if I'm wrong. Prodrive coilover can fit your car unless it is from STI as the PCD is diff. I think you can get more answers from subaruclubsg. and you can bring everything to pro Subaru workshops like BMS/BKS and 1 look they will tell you can or cannot fit.

Elmo 4th Gear February 18, 2009 Share February 18, 2009 I'm using Tein SS with EDFC. At softest almost like stock. At hardest, all my passengers complain. So I set half-way point 8/16 clicks (manual 16 clicks is max, with EDFC can set half-clicks up to 32) Just nice. After trying out changing of springs only versus coilover, I think springs is enough for looks and normal ride. If you like hard cornering then maybe a coilover is good. But for occasional cornering fun, the investment seems too much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXR Neutral Newbie February 18, 2009 Share February 18, 2009 Hi, I'm a newly registered user. Wanted to post this but do not have permission to post a topic. So dun mind if i ask this question? Currently i own a Mzada 3 SP and i would like to make my engine to have a rumbling sound(famous in Honda Fit cars i realise) but do not know where and how to ask about it? So is there any kind soul can help me with this? Really appreciate it Please dun flame me. Thank you. :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prodigysaint Clutched February 19, 2009 Share February 19, 2009 rumbling is only possible on boxer if i'm not wrong... those ah beng/malaysian loud exhaust.. can be done everywhere... my advise is not to do it on mazda.. it'll really not enhance anything but a bad image..

Bugts Neutral Newbie February 19, 2009 Author Share February 19, 2009 actually i dun need a coilover.. but by changing the spring to lower my ride is not advisable right... The space between the wheel & the arc is so huge... Think at least 4 to 5 fingers.. Anyway thanks for your wonderful info... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The space between the wheel & the arc is so huge... Think at least 4 to 5 fingers.. Anyway thanks for your wonderful info... just to take note , lowering too much is not nice either.end up the height between the wheel and the arc will be closer but the both the sides gap are still wide.maybe you can consider up your rim 1 inch plus lower 2 finger?

After changing all that you mentioned, must do alignment. If after that still like that, bring back to shop which changed/sold you rims and tyres - either balancing not done properly or worse case, rim warped.

Bugts Neutral Newbie February 27, 2009 Author Share February 27, 2009 alignment, chamber, toe all done.. wheels buy from 2nd hand.... maybe the tires is the culprits... thanks bro.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rb26dett Clutched February 27, 2009 Share February 27, 2009 alignment, chamber, toe all done.. wheels buy from 2nd hand.... maybe the tires is the culprits... thanks bro.. maybe is uneven wear on tires or rims not that round anymore.do high speed balancing to check. if previously u dun have problems on your previous setup then shouldnt be bearing problem. get it checked soon and drive safe.
