2000 obs rally?
- Thread starter jmacfoto
- Start date
That's what I would start with. Nothing worse than a bouncy, floppy, rattle-y suspension over loose uneven terrain.

I think you can put WRX springs in the old OBS struts and gain a little bit of clearance.

check with evilaspie. I think he put WRX springs in his struts on his old OBS. he may still have parts too.

No more parts. But i did run 02/03 wrx struts and springs on my 98 obs. gave it some lift and nice stiffness over stock. That setup went into the 93 legacy after that.
Not sure how the parts would to separately.

I think i needed some washers to get the rear tops hats to fit correctly because i used the 98 ones. IIRC rear GC top hats have a different bolt pattern then the 02+ and the GC tops hats did not seat all the way down onto WRX struts.
You'll need something like this: http://turninconcepts.com/product_info.php?cPath=1_9_7_480_490_507&products_id=234
Those will even probably work.

what kind of rally car are we talking about? first things first...gut the car and get a proper roll cage installed.. get it log booked and then begin building all the other stuff.
unless we are talking about an SCCA Rallycross car...

a "rally car" is not a DD...cuz by its very nature a rally car needs to be somewhat disposable. it's part of the learning curve, as you work up to going faster and faster at rallyX or "brisk" TSDs, well let's just say that sooner or later the car is increasinly likely to go home on a trailer OK? and a DD on a trailer is Bad News.
now a DD that has some mods to make it more fun on rough back roads...now we talking!dead stock GC OBS suspension is a great starting point, mebbe do some GR-2 struts, good stout tires for dirt/sno (cooper weathermaster snows 195/65-15 or similar) and some skidplates like Primitive or RallyArmor front n rear.
then spend yer $$ learning how to drive better instead of wasting $$ on mods for a car you don't really know how to make the most of yet. Team O'Neil wintr safe course, one-day Rally Experience etc
full disclosure: I work as an instructor at Team O, but there are a good numba of members here that can vouch for the value of Team O trainin as opposed to dum dum carbon fiber bling on your OBS.....Meyagi, Coondogg, RezPunk (another Team O teacha), etc etc
