GC Koni Strut Install
Getting GC Coilovers with Koni strut inserts. Have read old posts from Porter concerning new strut top mounts. Want to know exactly which part numbers I need to order for the new top mounts.
 20320 - Strut Mount Front ... for sure 20521A Cap Strut Mount Upper ... ??? 20326 Dust Seal Front Strut ... ???? 20370A Strut Mount Rear Right ...for sure 20370B Strut Mount Rear Left ...for sure N350013 self locking nut ...probably in case needs to be cracked to remove 20378 Guide Rear Strut Helper ...??? Am I missing anything? Thanks in advance for your help.

You're going to need a spring compressor.

Need ordering information
Probably not going to do the actual install myself as I need a complete alignment at the same time. Found a shop in northern New Jersey that does suspension work and alignments for both street and track applications. But, I want to minimize shop time, so I want to pre-order all the required parts. May well get urtheane swaybar bushings at the same time. Need to know what I need to order Thanks.

http://se30.dyndns.org:8080/SVX/svx_sport_parts.html Honestly though if you wanna save work you can easily pull 'em yourself, take them to the shop to get put in your old struts then put 'em in yourself and then have a shop do the alignment. Unless you're going a zillion miles to get it done you'll be fine with a home alignment. At the very least you can remove the rear seat, side panels and deck cover. That alone would probably save ya $50 or so. If you yank 'em yourself as a unit you wouldn't even need to compress 'em and de spring 'em. You could let the shop do that. I'd guess this way you'd save enough to get all new strut mounts all around. (don't chuck your old ones though send 'em to me! I recycle 'em).

Strut Mount Part Numbers
If I'm buying new strut mounts. What part numbers do I need to buy. See my first email in this thread. Do I need to buy the Cap and the dust cover for the front strut mounts, and do I need to buy the Guide Rear Strut Helper.
Also, do you have a source for new urethane sway bar end bushings for the SVX.

It is likely that top mounts are a Subaru only part, and they are not cheap. I'm remebering something like $300 for a set of 4.
If they are not worn, they do not need to be replaced. One of my cars has new top mounts, one does not.

I got my Koni's from Dayle and the Ground Control coil-over kit from Ground Control. the Eibach springs don't seem to come anymore in same ratings mentioned by Porter, which were 380 fr/ 325 r. The rears are either 230.64.49 (0900.250.0280) or 230.64.55 (0900.250.0315). Note that these are very broad metric conversions; 55 kg per cm translates into 307 lbs per in. rather than 315. The fronts are either 0800.250.0350 or 0800.250.0375. The 350 arrives marked as 200.64.59, which is really about 330 lb/in. Trying to maintain Porter's ratio, (Dayle's ratio is 200 lb/in fr/170 lb/in r) between front and rear, and accepting that pothole country might favor a slightly softer spring, I finally chose the 230.64.49 rear (274 lb.in) and the 200.64.59 fronts (330 lb/in).
Great place to buy OEM parts is http://www.subaruparts.com. Terrific drawings showing exactly the relationship of the parts. Pretty good prices, too. Source for Energy Suspension Bushings: http://www.suspension.com/s.b.bushings.htm, but you have to order by telephone, no on-line ordering, just a catalogue. I have a pair of the Eibach 230.64.55 rears, if anyone would like to buy them. $80 for the pair.
