injector replacements?/suspension replacements?/seat replacements
My 92 is been having a dripping injector issue for quite a while now, and I'm getting tired of having to crank longer than necessary to get it to start when warm. What is everyone doing for fuel injector replacement? Part numbers are greatly appreciated!
Also suspension on my 92 needs to be replaced. I dont need anything really fancy, No 4000 dollar suspension going on this car just yet, the winters that his car endures tends to wear out struts faster than normal (oil leaks kill them) I know there is been problems with the older dealer replacement struts IIRC, is there any cheaper aftermarket struts people are using like KYB or Monroe's? Again Part numbers if you got them. And lastly, seat replacements. My drivers seat as an ass pocket in it, thats almost unbearable to sit and drive in. It makes getting out of the car almost impossible without grabbing on to the door to pull yourself out of the car. I dont want to have to keep doing that cuz its gonna wear out the door panel and the door hinges. Is there any other Subaru seat thats a direct bolt up in it? I dont really need STi seats, but Forester GT seats or Legacy GT seats might not be too bad if they work. Who's using what out there? Thnaks guys

Re: injector replacements?/suspension replacements?/seat replacements
With the suspension, only thing really worth getting is Koni's and they'll run you around $1500. If your going to get new seats, I'd spring for the STi ones asy around $500 because anything aftermarket our from another car you'll have to make a custom bracket for.
This is the cost of being an SVX owner. Doing anything, even maintainance to our cars isn't cheap. Its not a Neon or a CRX. $2000 for two things seems crazy but I can honestly say you'll be happy with the results when your finished.

Re: injector replacements?/suspension replacements?/seat replacements
No problem Brett. I just didn't want to discourage the poor guy!
To add, I believe someone on the board sells them a bit under the CG price. svxfiles perhaps? Glenn

Re: injector replacements?/suspension replacements?/seat replacements
You can probably get used injectors from someone here who has gone to an ecutune stage 2.

Re: injector replacements?/suspension replacements?/seat replacements
as for the struts, IIRC There is an aftermarket strut that people use thats not koni. It was something along the lines of an upgraded OEM strut or something because the originals only lasted a less than a year or something.
- For the inserts route, does anyone have a writeup or pictures of where the cuts need to be made? or does the kit come with directions? 800 dollars is do-able for struts seeing as ones of a lego are 125-150 a piece. as for fullout coilovers, imo its a waste of money for an svx These cars are too heavy and the suspension is too outdated to justify spending that kind of money on suspension. If I was going to throw 1500 dollars on shocks/struts I'd put it on an STi or something newer, lighter with more hp. If these cars were more common and if HP per $ was lower, I'd love to mod the svx. As for the seats, any subaru seat will fit with simple mods of the bolt on bracket to the bottom of it. I've retrofitted many seats in lots of other subarus just not SVX's. I imagine the floor pan layout is identical to the legacy chassis since most of the car is already based off the legacy chassis to begin with. I guess some heated leather 99 Legacy GT seats will go in then. STi seats are too hard to come by where I live. Whats the flowrate on the stock EG33 injectors? I may throw some EJ253 Injectors on there seeing how each of the EG33 cylinders is exactly proportionate to EJ22E cylinders, just having 2 more of them. EJ253 injectors should have a slightly higher flowrate iirc

I say go with Koni's if you want a great product and a lasting suspension on an amazing car.

Re: injector replacements?/suspension replacements?/seat replacements
I needed some injectors...Subaru still stocks them at $100+ per. Get a set of used injectors, and send them off to be cleaned/rebuilt/flow-tested at someplace like Deatschwerks at $19 per injector. My $.02

Re: injector replacements?/suspension replacements?/seat replacements
I can answer the strut question, with Yes, the Koni's come with instructions on how to measure and cut the housings. I like doing them manually with a hacksaw after trying a saws-all for one strut. Easier to be accurate that way.

Re: injector replacements?/suspension replacements?/seat replacements
I'll be ordering the cartridges here soon, I looked at some struts today at work and it doesnt look too complicated to cut out the cartridge and then tack weld them back in place.
thanks for the advice. as for injectors for now I'm gonna throw on a few off a 95 I found. Anything will be better than a drippy injector. So tired of the bad hot starts. thanks for the advice
