Bilstein Struts in 95 liberty

Post by Smokey » Sat Feb 03, 2007 6:49 am

Does anyone have or used these struts? I have an LX 95 FWD Liberty that needs new springs and struts. I saw these on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com.au/SUBARU-LIBERTY-B ... dZViewItem How tough are these and what springs would you suggest I use. Its the wife's car and I do not have any intention at this stage to lift or AWD convert it (FWD). So I do not want a too tough a ride for her. But these look tempting..heheh

Whats your advice

They will not suit your car if it is FWD. The rear struts are a different length and would make your car sit too low at the back.

Does anyone know if these can be rebuilt or stripped so that they could be converted to coilover setup?

shhhh....

shhh..... someone is watching....

Anyway nah wont suit for FWD as its different setup and the ride will be hard/solid, been in a Liberty RX with Billys and yeah its hard.
