obs springs for 01 rs?

[Imprezaman201]

i cant remember where i was told, but was that the obs springs will give the 01 rs slightly more clearance. true? false? also whats the diff in spring rates between the two?

 

[SUBARUDE]

true

 

[Imprezaman201]

true

shibby, are they the same rate? or are they softer?

 

[SUBARUDE]

i would think they would be softer but you are putting them on a lighter car so they may seem just as stiff

OBS springs are slightly stiffer, cuz they were spec'ed for a wagon with a higher load capacity than the RS coupe/sedan. don't know exact numbers, it's like 10% or so I tink

yes. I ran them on my RS. before and after. not a huge difference, but it helped
