Today i installed gc8 subaru struts, with ebay coilover sleeves, and its a pretty stiff ride with plenty of lows. ill post pictures later with my car cleaned up a bit. note how close the perch is to the mount vs yaris

How did you come to pick subaru struts?

^
i had a legacy and noticed the perch for the spring was lower and immediately thought moar lower. then i thought maybe a vehicle weighing twice as much might have more dampening so i threw them in!

Do the bolts on the new strut line up with the three holes in the strut tower on the Yaris?

[hairdresserscar]

iirc
there are only two holes in the yaris but i swapped the top hats over

[CrankyOldMan]

Aah, clever. How hard is it to find the crash/camber bolt spacing on struts?

Oh, well in that case, disregard. :laugh:

[hairdresserscar]

the results! excuse the dirt and cracked out bumper, as a rural paper route is NOT forgiving to a slammed yaris:bellyroll:

Interesting...

I need to find some shorter struts for my tercel...if those fit the Yaris then they are way too big for the terkle spindle
