  1. I was very disappointed to see that your profile pic is not a larger version of your avatar. Very disappointed...
  2. Neither of those are going to solve your "losing contact with the ground" issue over a hole, that's a damping problem which can only be solved by, replacing your dampers with something like Bilsteins (which are still not yet in production). That being said, a RSB makes a big difference on these cars. You can also use a 19mm STI RSB and save about $100. A front strut tower brace is ok, GT Spec is another option, Whiteline is good too, neither are going to make much of a noticeable difference (although that being said, I've usually ended up putting front strut tower bars on my cars because it's a cheap 5min mod that makes the SLIGHTEST of differences in initial turn in response).
  3. The same thing happens on my 3.6r. Is my turbo going out?
  4. They're pretty similar springs. The eibach's drop another 0.25" compared to RCE and I believe their spring rate is about 10% less than the RCE's. I don't think anyone has directly compared the two spring sets. And yes, I'm pretty sure RCE made a RSB. Did you look on their website?
  5. I just put one of these in, very impressed. This is one powerful little package that looks great and is more visible (both char size, brightness, and leds) than I thought it'd be. Great work, thanks for bringing this to market!
  6. This again...... http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/official-5th-generation-suspension-thread-163275.html?p=3428184 Here, read page 4 of this thread regarding actual ground clearance vs oem. If you're already having issues scraping with the stock suspension you may want to slow down.
  7. I haven't needed or wanted any of those items yet, so I got a strut bar
  8. They're struts, so they'd probably work with just about any spring (it doesn't matter, springs are not specific to struts and vice versa unless you're talking about coilovers, which is something totally different).
  9. I noticed a very small improvement in turn-in responsiveness with the strut tower bar, but that's about it. To me it's worth the $150 though, even if it is just a small improvement in handling, especially when I'm shelling out the same $150 per tire anyway, which last me maybe 10,000mi if I don't totally thrash them in the canyons.
  10. My current setup: RCE "Functional" Lowering Springs (0.75" drop F&R) 19mm 2010 Subaru STI RSB (stock is 16mm), $75 for the bar w/ bushings GT SPEC Front strut tower bar Pirelli PZero Nero M+S tires (36f 34r) IMHO, this is one of the best setups if you want to improve handling while actually improving ride quality at the same time. This is not a super aggressive setup, it is meant to be a daily driver in LA, but also meant to be driven like a maniac in the malibu canyons on the weekend. The springs are tuned to work with the stock struts (and they do so quite well). This is how the LGT should have come from the factory IMO.
  11. Yeah, the OEM springs are just way, way too soft. I think that's why now with the RCE's the car feels so much more planted, because it's not pogo-sticking and bouncing all over the place, or rising and falling like a ship at sea. Did I mention I get sea-sick easily?
  12. Lol, maybe I should have been clearer; the 25mph speed "humps" (not the rip your suspension off bumps you see in parking lots) do not require me to slow down at all. I can hit them at 30mph, (40 if I want to try a dukes of hazard move ).
  13. ^+1 for RCE Blacks! No slowing down for speed bumps or driveways, I can take them faster now than when the car was stock. Can anyone else truly say that for their springs?
  14. RCE Blacks "Functional" Lowering Springs 0.75" F&R 2010 STI Rear Sway Bar (19mm vs 16mm stock) Pirelli PZero Nero's All Season Tires 38f/36r (Which I'm loving so far compared to my previous sets: Toyo Proxes 4's and Conti ExtremeContact DW) GT Spec Front Strut Tower Bar That's it and all I have planned! Loving my car!
