I went to Subaru dealer today. I can now confirm that our Legacies are fully modelled after the JDM 5th gen. I got the part numbers for the facelifted 5th gen sold here in the Philippines, which are equipped with KYB: 20310AJ160, 20310AJ170.
A quick search confirms that the same struts are used in the 2012 JDM LGT. Good thing I did not order the USDM KYB struts right away! I find it weird though that we have the same parts as the right hand drive model instead of the left hand drive USDM model.
Hello, I’m from Mexico and have a similar issue with my 2011 GT. The one we got here is closer to JDM than USDM, so I’m wondering if in Philippines did the 2012 KYBs fit on the 2011 model without issue? Just got a quote for the 2011 OEM shocks (20310AJ020 and 030) from the dealer and we’re talking about $1250 USD for both front shocks (not a joke!). The 2012s (20310AJ160 and 170) are slightly cheaper at $600 for both would think this is because the 2011s are Bilsteins vs KYB for 2012), so I’m trying to figure if I’ll go this way based on any feedback received here. I’ve tried but haven’t been able to find KYBs (339238 and 39) or Monroes (G8246 and 47) anywhere. Any help will be really appreciated!
