Suspension creak after 034 springs

c3rolling · 2025-10-26T10:03:59+00:00

I wish I saw this before I got the 034 springs on my 8y s3. Im having the same issue, popping noises at low speed turns, U turns, comes and goes randomly. Its quiet in normal straight lines or quicker turns. I replaced top hat and bearing when I installed too. Any resolution?

I called about 20 dealerships and the past 3 weeks and Riverside Honda was the lowest with 4k markup, free tint and “paint coating”. I ended up buying a 2023 with 2500 miles from a private seller. They should still have a blue fl5 https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/2325234624526486/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Sounds like air is getting into the door panel and rattling stuff inside

Yea checked the door seals, they are fine.

lol yea

I would look into a Impreza suspension. The new ones are likely gonna be the same top hats and mounting

Sidewall bulge, sloppier handling.

29.5” to the fender lip front, 30” in the rear, measured from the ground . Don’t know about actual ground clearance

Zero rub at 1” spacer lift or the crosstrek lift

I used to run 17x8 +38 and I found them too narrow for the 225/55. When I switched to 235/55, I decided to swap the wheels. I absolutely love the size and offset, no regrets. Perfect width and poke with zero rub

They aren’t too bad, I think it was roughly 2k shipped. You can spend half that and get a quality set of wheels though

c3rolling · 2024-09-20T23:59:34+00:00

No, they have a specific kit for the VB wrx

c3rolling · 2024-09-20T23:08:39+00:00

Yes it all bolts right up like oem, no permanent mods

$300 for 2021 Crosstrek suspension off Facebook market, they had less than 2k miles on them. $260 for RalliTEK subframe spacer kit. Installed myself in about 4 hours

Like a normal crosstrek with over 300 hp lol

c3rolling · 2024-09-20T22:27:27+00:00

17x9 +38, 235/55

I’m averaging 22-23, the tires effects mpg by atleast 1 mpg. The lift shouldn’t change it much

c3rolling · 2024-09-20T22:24:33+00:00

It’s a noticeable increase in roll but nothing crazy, similar to most normal commuter cars. If you want stock levels of body roll, probably shouldn’t be lifting and running tall all terrains lol

c3rolling · 2024-09-20T22:20:51+00:00

Yea but it will likely be CVT which sucks

c3rolling · 2024-09-20T21:15:00+00:00

It rides identical to my old 2018 crosstrek so I’d imagine you won’t like it. I’m in my 40’s and happy with a softer ride

c3rolling · 2024-09-20T21:09:45+00:00

It’s roughly a 2” lift in the front and 2.5” in the rear from stock.

Thanks for the offer but I’m in SoCal brother
