I need some help identifying my front springs. My front sits about -10mm below "average" X73" which is already -20mm. I have noticed that my color code for springs: Yellow-top. Pink/Blue bottom. Presumably it is stock X73. I saw some X73s with Purple/Blue
Can anyone confirm? Could springs literally settled and perhaps if I replace with stock 981 343 301 06 504 I can gain back normal height?
My x73 springs are the same as yours. Same colors. Good luck.
Thank you. I was hoping on a different answer. I wonder if there is anything other than springs that will make up the overall height. Could springs settled for a few 5-10mm? Car has only 33k mileage.
In the Subie world, they make shims for the wagon because sometimes you get a saggie butt. Basically it was a piece of plastic shaped like the top of the strut. I think if you don’t solve your issue, perhaps make a 10mm shim and put it in between the strut and body raising it 10mm. Or buy two new front shocks.
How are you measuring the additional -10mm? Side by side with another X73 with same wheels and tires? Most consistent (to eliminate tire and wheel differences) is center of hub to top of wheel well, or ground to frame just behind the front tire.
Maybe even measure against non-X73 to see if you’re -20 or -30mm.
If you look at the picture it is still acceptable, but I like to be in the middle of the green chart like in the rear. I wonder if ONLY springs set the height. If that is the case, I will try ordering a new set.
