I've been getting <300 miles before the light. I remember I got ~360 miles one time riding the light until the last tick and I gave in and filled up. Turned out I still had ~2 gallons in the tank.

I haz a lead foot.

Nope.

Creak came back in mine. Just turn up the volume for a temporary fix.

Edit: Oh hey! Post #1k

I'm looking at doing springs but hesitant because I have a factory warranty and not sure if i want to void my struts. Anyone have any experience with eibachs on stock struts and how long the stock struts last? I have already had two struts replaced by the dealer and if I can get the other two, I am definatley doing springs...

How many miles do you have on your stock struts? I had ~37k on mine when I put on the Epic springs (rebranded Eibachs). For ~2k miles, I commuted to NY for work (read: one of the worst roads) and noticed that I had started hitting the bump stops over mild bumps and potholes.

After those ~2k miles, I upgraded to the Konis. MUCH better and more compliant ride IME. Very comfortable as well when set to the softer settings. There are some on here that do run Eibachs/Epics on stock struts with no problems, but that depends on the miles on the struts, how and where you drive.

I was #2. I must have missed you driving by. I was actually heading home after going to reef encounters.

 

Boo for Impreza haha. It is a nice car , but I just wanted something a little bigger. I bought my Subaru from Liberty. If you end up buying it there, speak to Clayton. He was a great salesman. He knows very well since my car took about 23 weeks to get sent (mention Shri).

I really do like the '12 Impreza, nice and spacious especially in the rear compared to my 4th gen Legacy. Then again, I'm ~6' ~230lbs so I'm always riding shotgun in my friends' cars

I was talking to a salesman there, but didn't catch his name. He was about my height, a bit portly with graying mustache and hair. He said that the '12 Impreza was being passed around dealerships in the Tri-state and that it was possibly heading to NY today.

Thanks for the recommendation. If we do go with Liberty, is that 'Shri' as in 'cry' or 'key'? Lol. I've heard good things about Liberty and Wayne, so it all depends on where my parents want to go.

Two spotted tonight.

1. Blue 5th gen with dark wheels leaving Liberty Subaru. Sounded pretty nice. I was there looking at the 12 Impreza with my Dad and sister. Hoping to get my sister in one, she really liked it.

2. Another 5th gen in white with blacked out grille on Hackensack Road by the Boston Market. Didn't get to see much else. You were headed opposite of me, I was heading toward Toyota of Hackensack to see some Corolla's for my sister. She likes the 12 Impreza better

Most people aren't aware that a LGT traveling at 70mph will easily pass a Spec B traveling at 65mph.

Yea man... dont tell me your stalkin me on FB now...

Nah, but Rex DID show me some of your pics on FB, one of them with your S/N which prompted me to ask

Maybe ill roll with them oneday since the other legacy guys dont go anymore.

Yea, sure, because that's what I need. A Spec B. rolling with us to put down my and my car's ego

Kidding aside, that was my first meat. And, to be honest, I felt awkward as I had no idea what to do at a meat So if you go, I could just gawk at your ride and stare into your engine bay trying to make sense of it all

for all the users of a eibach pro kit or similar, do you feel the car doesnt absorb bumps/cracked up roads like it should?

im on stock struts with the pro kit, and while the ride is firm and nice, it doesnt absorb bumps well. is this normal?

would aftermarket struts help this?

damping "seems" fine, but i have not ridden in another lgt to compare.

How many miles on the shocks/struts? I had my Epic/Eibach springs put on my stock struts around 37k miles. While it firmed up the ride a little, it felt like I was riding the bump stops whenever I went over bumps, dips or the occasional pothole.

When I finally upgraded to Konis at 39k miles, not only was it firmer and more controlled during turns, the car now absorbs bumps and dips like a champ. What's more, my mechanic said that my OEM shocks/struts were already on their way out
