Brumby front coilovers with standard hats

Post by Prunes » Thu Mar 04, 2010 7:52 pm

Is it possible to use a coil over with a standard brumby hat on it as I'm having issues with the WRX struts for my 4 stud kit not fitting and after having a try have determined I don't have the patience to massage the body till they fit.

do you mean 5 stud kit. is it a crossbred kit. if it is , the kit comes with washers so you can put the brumby tops on the impreza struts.

yeah crossbred my bad yeah the issue with the struts I have is the fact the spring and spring top rub excessively, so I was thinking of getting some coilovers and was wondering if the same thing can be done with them, unbolt the coilover top and bolt on the standard brumby one.

Have you discussed the problem with Jeff from Crossbred Performance?

I didn't think there was much to discuss, springs and sheet metal touch, options would be move sheet metal or use narrower spring. I'm opting for the latter.
