Cut springs - awesome.. !

They're not sitting in there properly - and will fall out when u raise up the car

Pretty simple stuff - spring is too short in the strut

Simple and best solution. Take the car back to subaru - inform them that they have sold you an unsafe car and demand it be fixed - cut springs is a massive fail!

Any car they sell comes with a limted warranty on issues like this. freebies all the way.

nah meatbag the car was purchased of a dude on here not a yard....'sleepys' old car originally...must have been pretty tired and not thinking straight when he decided to cut them!

Adz..ur spot on bud! i must have gone over some big fk off bump and it raised by 20mm and the spring 'fell out' how nice. Pedders say any more than 20mm raise n they fall out. Suggested if I want it that low I need coilovers..and quoted me $1892 for 4 supplied fitted and wheel allignment.

Does anyone have a pic of a gc8 on kings ultra lows?

I reckon this is a similar problem to what my car does, every now and then it clunks and it sounds like it's from the rear end. And yes when it's on a hoist the springs come out of something, or so I'm told, but I know for a fact that they're not cut springs.

Have you actually thought to ask Dave about the springs before running your mouth off on the forum?

If you came into my workshop i would slap you straight back out the door.

Get some uncut springs, and then complain about noise. Cut springs will have ha habit of moving around in the perch, sometimes not sitting correctly and will make this noise
