With the wagon the only real solution to keeping a slightly raked look is using the saggy butt spacers.

That Sebring event is the Fla championships and is a two day event.

My club runs an autocross at Moroso (PBIR) in Nov. Sebring would be a good venue for gulf coast members.

Its not easy getting peeps together. I had the idea of getting some LGT owners out for an autocross day in a central location . Interest wasn't that high so i decided to hold the idea. It still can be done. A good venue would be either Sebring (Leo's club runs there) or Palm Beach Intl raceway (formerly known as Moroso park). One of these days its going to happen.

I agree, have prodrives on my WRX.

I'll join, Where is the suby cruise going to be?

+1 , my exact sentiments.

True , all Sedan springs will work with the wagon but few are designed for the heavier Butt the wagon has. Swift makes wagon specific springs as does ION and I'm sure others do as well.

Same thing happened to me when I went higher sidewall tires. Unfortunately as the tires wear out the ride quality goes down a bit again.

Let me clarify, I ran the 225/45/18 with both my suspension setups. First with stock struts and Swift springs then with ION springs and Koni dampers. You should be fine with that tire size with both stock suspension and lowered as well .

You wont have a problem , I run 225/45/18 on the first generation Spec B rim without any problems. Currently dropped on ION springs. I did have a minor rubbing issue with the fender after the stock struts wore out when I had the lowly Swift springs (over 2" drop) but only on steep inclines and the wagon loaded. Never had any rubbing with the bottom spring perch

A rear bar and springs will keep you happy for awhile . A good compromise between decent handling and ride quality

And they will sit slightly lower. I do not recommend The Koni's with ultra low springs like swifts . They should work well with Eibach's , Rallitek and ION.

With the change in USDM vs JDM tophats there won't be a difference in suspension travel just a slight difference in ride height. My Koni/ION spring combo sit fairly level but I also Have the wagon specific springs in HD which sit a bit higher in the rear. Even with that I feel the rear could still be slightly higher so I will likely order the shims in the near future.

Leo, PM me I'm nearby. I'd like to see your ride and trade notes.

In South Fla we are spread apart and to my knowledge haven't had a meet yet.

I'm trying to organize a central/South Fla one likely an autocross in Sebring or Palm Beach . Maybe July or august as it would be too difficult to do one this month. Those interested please say so and chime in.

You made the right call going with Rallitek springs. I would imagine they would be punishing with Swifts or Cobbs (ask underdog). With Rallitek or IONS they are acceptably firm.

Leo, I told you I was away this weekend and couldn't make the Sebring event. You should come on down to where the real competition is . We'll make it up there one day. Tons of Subies in Soflo including the Pastelito boys and TAV boys. They run very fast WRX's and STI. The lone exception is myself and Fernely (who dominates DS class in his spec B). Last night on speed channel Tanner Foust got handled at Willow springs going head to head against a harmon automotive time attack STI. Tanner got beat riding an Aston Martin DB9 and a Viper.

Alright, who pulled up in a slammed garnet red Sedan on University DR near 595 this weekend. Looked mean. Unfortunately i was in my wifes CX-7 and decided not to roll the window down and yell hello. For you South fla members, We will be getting together soon . Maybe do an Autocross .

SVDX , you are the guru.

I know the pitch stopmount is for the wrx and STI . I believe white line makes a version as does Agency power. Question is ,does the Legacy GT/Spec B use the same one as the WRX/STI?

Koni's and Ions replacing Swifts and stockers today and tomorrow. I'll document the ride height change

Don't get Swifts if you don't want a big drop ( they go a bit over 2" lower on the fronts) . My 18" tires rub quite a bit with the swifts. Switching over to IONS and koni's in a few days .

I had a 97 LGT that had Headgaket problems as well.
