    Months ago I put a set on my Subaru Legacy sedan and like them so far. I had upgraded from the stock 16" wheels to 18" and needed a fender roller. I bought and used the Eastwood model. I wish the ride could be just a little bit softer but it's alright. I have dampers set on softest setting

    Makes me want a GC8 as well bro. Nice video and those coilovers honestly dont look that bad. Im curious as well to how long they will last. Its tempting to get a set for 350 tho....

      no hate to the man making this video. I have these coilovers which were installed by previous owner. awesome spring rate for sticking to the road and controlling slides. downside is almost a year and a half later (around how old they are) my front right coilover is completely loose when the car is jacked up. I mean I can shake the coilover all around and the spring doesnt reach the bottom of the tower like it should which is sketch. made sure to put it down centered and looking at other coilovers considering racelands.

    Chris, I just installed a pair on my son's 2000 Impreza 2.5rs sedan, and the springs are too stiff IMO. They were replaced a set of KYB AGX adjustable struts and Prodrive P1 springs because the back KYB's were blown out.

    Nice GC8 RS Chris, my dream version is also the coupe but in Sedona Red (faded to a nice Burgundy) and bronze wheels. Looking forward to future vids on the GC8 with the owner's blessing.

      For sure man! The owner wants to wrap it so we may tackle that in the future 🤔

    Is it any different on a gc4 or is it all the same?

    • @802Garage
      @802Garage ปีที่แล้ว

      Exactly the same as long as it is AWD. These should still work on a FWD car as well, but the top hat may wear out more quickly.

    • @ChrisDoesCars

      The new coilovers had mounting tabs for the brake lines and I used those
