I got mine direct from Germany, part number 29167-2

If mine end up looking raked like that I could use spacers under the front I guess.

depends on which model you drive, most 2.5i are going to be slightly uneven

Seems like all of them with H&R look like that compared to other springs. Do the rears settle a lot more over time?

Is it just me, or do all the pics of 5th gens I see with H&R springs seem a lot lower in the front than the rear?

BL/BP struts will not work. You need BM/BR front struts, sedan or wagon only, not Outback, those have the spring perch higher on the strut body.

Got it, thanks very much.

Hey guys, Leigh from NZ here again...

I got a set of H&R springs and Koni 8610/8010 ready to install.

Sorry if this has been covered before (couldn't find in search) but to minimize down time on my daily, I'm looking for a cheap donor set of OEM front struts to do the insert conversion on, does anyone know if 4th Gen BL are the same as BM?

We sure do, mine was NZ new model though.

So, about lowering it a bit, what's a guy to do?

Probably not what you want, but check here http://forum.liberty.asn.au/ they will know what is available to you given your model/engine.

that's cool, worth a try (to be honest I didn't give our Ozzy neighbors a thought!)

Hi,

I am a 5th generation owner in New Zealand, i'd like to lower it just a bit - nothing too aggressive as our roads are not very good:mad:

Since mine is a diesel (BM-D), there is no direct listing for replacement after market springs (for use with OEM type struts), so I'm trying to find out if I can use springs from a more popular model.

Choices here in NZ are fairly limited too, I can get Prova springs, apparently designed to be used with OEM struts anyway, I'm just not sure which ones to choose.

For the FA20 engine:

31144 TH 1010: DIT BMG 2.0 sedan

Standard height ratios: f =-25 R =-17 (mm)

Rating: F=3.85 R=3.89(kg/mm)

or EJ25?

31140 TH 1010: BM9/BMM 2.5i/2.5GT sedan

Standard height ratios: f =-30 R =-20 (mm)

Rating: F=3.90 R=4.30(kg/mm)

there's a difference in rear spring rates between those two models and i'm not too sure why, have been trying to work out and compare engine weights

but cant find anything conclusive.

I've tried the same question on the UK Legacy forum (where you'd expect some diesel Legacy ownership) but no help there.
