OME 2.5" lift w/ 1" Mr Gasket coil spacers

[Outback]

This is my old '93. OME 850/863 w/ Mr. Gasket 1" rubber spacers on the front only.

What size tires are those? 33's or 35"s? They look like 33's.

I have a 1" nose dive on my 94. Not getting a aftermarket rear bumper anytime soon. So where to buy 1" mr. gasket spacers online? MAF, Slee dosent sell them. MAF sells trim packers but those are for indiviual corners and Slee sells aluminum spacers.

thanks

Summit racing.com Search for "Mr gasket 1285" they have them for 10 bucks a piece.

Cool

I just ordered them and will be installing them with my 850/863 when they get here. Thanks for the link! Gotta love $10 mods! Not too often i am doing those!

I hope the front shocks are ok with the spacers!




Thanks

Its really $14.50 each when you add their handling. Still, not bad

Still, one of the cheapest 80 mods!

Any idea on the shocks, will they be ok?

Has anyone ever used poly spring spacers like those made by Energy Suspensions? Seems like they would last better than the Mr. Gasket ones, but I've not seen either in person.

Checked out your thread! Nice looking rig you have there!

How did the handling differ when you added the extra 1" Spacers? I have heard from some its fine and others its squirly, your two cents?

Thanks

Handling is still the same from when I didn't have the spacers on. I don't think there should be any issues with with just a 1" spacer. After all it is only an inch ..

Adding that additional inch can still affect caster. It can take a "drivable" vehicle and make it very "loose"

yes, but with a 2.5" lift, it should be fine, plus I do have the OME castor correction...

You may still drive OK but your caster will be on the low end. Read this old thread:
