The only way to offset it practically is widen the track.

if it where doable which as Slunies has stated its not worth it I would have put flares and deeper dish rims but clearly its not worth it for a mere 20mm

That mere 20mm will slightly offset and potentially save the 100mm that just cost you 10k from disaster

I personally think weight reduction and a wider track is the answer to your next dilemma, these will cost a pretty penny though, (do they make portals for D2's).

anythings easy with the right amount of money. I just hope you have a few more WRX's in your garage to sell to complete the task you've just started.

What shocks are you buying for the rear and do you know their open extended length eye to eye?

**HAK** · 15th November 2007, 10:19 AM

I have Bilstein 7100 imported from the states silly me got them to soft.

Its a matter of revalve them to suit which means I'll have to rip of the rear put them on the front as the rear should be good for the front and revalve the front from 255/70 to 360/80

It handle OK but just OK it doesnt bounce every where like a stuffed shock but they are soft, soft enough to dip then come back to centre the spring high doesnt help either, the original shocks I could squeeze to gether by hand they where truely stuffed

The originals would be oil filled - you're supposed to be able to do that

Just spoke to gent at Dobinson QLD they I advised the issue they said that buy placing a Warn 8000 alone with drop the front down by 20mm not to mention a another battery he said the rear should lift by probibly 5mm

they advised to leave it they way it is and all will be perfect what do you guys think further to that they will do another set at cost price should the issue still excist
