    So these Subaru SVX Brake lines are what we need for our VXs?

    And thanks for contributing everyone!! I've made the edits to the main Post adding the adjustable coils.

    Ascinder...

    are those spring spacers used to get extra lift? And if so are they used with the stock, 912's or either? What I'm seeing is I can get from 0" to 5&1/4" of lift... Am I getting that correct?

    Oh and thanx TR. This is a life saver. I had been browsing this site and the web for all this info for a while and now its all in one place. U r awesome!

    Thanks for the kind words... I needed something for me to have "on file" for reference as I'm starting to order all of the little pieces to build my lift

    As for the adjustable spacers, they should work with Stock springs or 912s, but it'd be best (I'd assume) to use them with 912s, otherwise you won't get more suspension travel, you'll just raise the back end of the VX (clearance only)

    Shocking Part Numbers

    I looked on the Bilstein website and could not find the part number listed above for the front shocks. After phoning and discussing this with them, the front p/n should be B46-1738-H2. As noted above, these are the shocks recommended for the Trooper (B46-1739-H1 for the rear). The sales guy at Bilstein said, "a what?" when I told him it was for a Vehicross. lol

    The thread on Diff Drops could be useful as well:

    A linky to Joe Darlington is buried within - his run about $300 with the crossmember drops.

    My apologies.....

    Hi, cwillyrun,
    I apologize for being late with this post. I mentioned a few days ago that I would get you the part numbers for the Bilsteins, and it slipped my mind until now. You are correct, both front and rear are "B46". I installed B46-1739-H1's on the rear, and B46-1738 H1's on the front. I believe that the H1's are stiffer than the H2's, and the H1's are still slightly softer than stock, so, if you want to get as close to a stock ride as you can, I would recommend the H1's on both ends.

    Planetsvx started off just being parts for the Subaru SVX
    But they do have a dedicated page for VX owners and
    custom parts too.
    Those lines are for the Vehicross specifically.


    Check out our VX accessories @
    www.planetsvx.com
    click on the Vehicross button on the left side
    of the page
