@@flatoutsuspension264 how are the road heading characteristics. I did Mann 1"springs with stock shocks and I have no droop now in the front now which I'm not a fan of. Otherwise I like the firmness
Not too expensive, from stock they’re pretty good off-roaders. They’re about the same price as any other new sedan. You won’t find any other capable off-roader SUV for this price. Also the AWD system is miles ahead of other companies and even some 4x4 suv/ trucks. If the new Broncos aren’t what I expect I will be modifying the shit out of my cross trek. Turbo or supercharges lifted the whole shebang
front and rear bumper delete nice. how big of a lift is that? running on what size tires and wheels? is the bumper now steel or aluminum? custom job or bought from shop? what brand tires are those? what kinda suspension? so many questions haha
I can answer some...2.5" lift, dunno about his tires, not sure on bumper material, they are RRW bumpers. Suspension is our GR40 : flatoutsuspension.net/products/crosstrek-gr40
@00gothetonix It's reported to be just as comfortable as OEM at full soft due to linear valving. Low speed valving has been bumped up, so it is better in the corners. The only thing they fight against is higher center of gravity and physics, but they have instilled a lot of confidence in the corners. As said in the other comment, it is stiffer...however in the right area of the valving curve. It is meant to be a fast offroad set-up, so the shock is set up to handle washboards at speed.
neat. so, better mpg without bumpers? who know installing new coil-overs could be so dramatic. can your electropate withstand salt for those of us in snowbelt states? ....something southern California doesn't see; ever.
The stock suspension on the STI is garbage. I'd consider upgrading to this suspension. I like something that would work well on every day driving and some offroading. It's going to have to wait a year or two however. I've got a 2015 sti.
Does the rear subframe need to be lowered with spacers in it after instillation? I have a completely stock 16 crosstrek and im wondering if i need to buy anything else besides the coilovers
If you go higher than 2", yes. 2" and under, no...but spacers definitely help keep geometry in check. An extra $249 to have it all correct is a worthy investment.
Love the build! I am curious what sort of static wheel geometry a vehicle like this uses. Also how does geometry change dynamically for a vehicle with this kind of suspension travel? Would extreme droop/compression scenarios cause geometry wonkiness? Sorry if this is a dumb question.
He has 1.5” subframe spacers. Are you referring to our FAQ where we answer peoples question of the ability to use our lift plus strut spacers where we say you can? That’s not a recommendation, rather confirming you can double up. Wow, indeed.
@flatout suspension How does the gr40 do on the outback 2015 2.5i unfortunately cvt. Found some long travel 10" front and 12" rear but I love these just want some feedback
They do very very well! They really shine going fast over rough surfaces. As one customer said “Cadillac smooth.” The 15-19 Outback is one of our top 3 applications for our GR series.
