6th Gen are 5x114.3?

So did you get a real tS grille badge? I want to get one, just not sure where.

I hate stretch stance so much. I just can't. There's good fitment and there's wrong fitment, like that god-awful SRT-4. I hope people that do that eat curb all the time just because they are so dumb.

I've been drooling over wheels lately, what do you guys think of these two options:

 

Enkei Raijin -

BBS SR's

The BBS are about 4 pounds more per wheel, but as of right now I'm going more aesthetics over performance.

 

Thoughts?

 

I'll be keeping my current tires, Cooper RS3-A's 225/45/18. I dunno, for some reason I thought BBS wheels were typically a LOT more expensive, so I'm not sure that these are of the same quality.

 

EDIT: According to willtheyfit, the Enkei's have a bit more poke, which I like (both wheels will fit without any craziness for now), but I can't help feeling that the BBS's look like they came off of a VW.

 

I like the look of the Raijin's better, you nailed it with the BBS looking a little VW OEM-ish.

My bad my bad. That's pretty nice eh.

Oh hell yeah!!!

I bought mine in Salt Lake, but the whole region out this way has a Subaru tax.

This was a few weeks ago but I was filling up at the Shell here locally and while I was checking my oil a guy walked up and asked with kind of car it was, told him it was a Legacy. He was all surprised and didn't think a Legacy could ever look that good and that I did a good job on it so far. Funny how less than $300 in cosmetic mods can make a car look so much different!

I am amazed I got mine for $17k in 2013 with 49k miles. Still haven't hit 60k either...

 

Jealous. Now I feel like I overpaid for mine....

It's the stock struts this picture was the day i got them installed.

 

there's about a 1 1/2 inch gap. I don't think it'll rub to be honest. if i get new rims i wanna get 20's. I have 19 by 9.5 and there's no rubbing and if i were to get 20 it'd fill the gap and probably still not rub.

 

Thanks! Now I have a better idea of how my car will sit. She's currently stock in the suspension and wheel department, but that will change come May!

 

 

Not sure if we had one of these, I couldn't find one. I browse cars for fun and always find things I think others may be interested in. Post up any finds!

 

San Diego - 2012 2.5GT, low miles!

North Carolina - 2011 2.5GT, low miles, possibly an exhaust or tips, can't tell.

http://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/detail/630370708/overview/

yeah those are the H&R springs.

 

Ok, what's on it when it is sitting lower? Coils? I'm looking at going H&R as well but with 245/40R19 size tire, so I will likely have less fender gap then that.

Here are some random pics that I have.

 

I have a 2013 Subii Legacy 2013 Satin Pearl White

 

Forgestar 19x9.5 (offset +38) stretched 225_35 R19

 

H&R Racing Springs

 

And just yesterday I plasti dipped the roof.

 

Is this pic with the H&Rs or the next ones where it's sitting lower?

Yep, it goes downpipe > intermediate > mid pipe > y > axle backs. Stock the mid and y are all one piece.

Unsp0kn - that LGT exhaust sounds great! Prime choice components too. Love it.

Thanks, I'm really happy with the way it came out. Your setup sounds great as well!

Do you plan to go catted or catless?

 

Catless for sure and have a pro tune done at BK in Boise. I plan on making it down there for a baseline dyno session soon, they are hooking me up on a few pulls since I will be getting a tune later on and they would like to have the numbers as well. Hoping it's mellow like yours (I haven't heard it) as mine is pretty deep and smooth right now. A little more popping is to be expected, it's already starting to more on downshifting as I've got about 250mi on the new mufflers.

I'm hoping if I do decide to do the DP this year sometime it won't be a whole lot louder.

That video would be a million times better without the music, but it sounds great.

I went for the longest resonator and biggest TPV mufflers Vibrant makes and had the exhaust fabbed up at Speed-O-Motive. I love the sound, will make another video if I go stage 2 with a catless Invidia.

You won't get any growl or rumble like a 4th gen, our header setup is equal length so we are going to forever and always sound similar to an EVO. I actually really like how mine sounds, got to hear it drive off for the first time the other day and it sounded amazing.

I really want to have my Legacy modded like yours. But I am getting so much hate from friends saying it's same as modding a Camry...

 

Tell em to pound sand. How many of them drive lifted rigs that never leave the pavement?

It was this guy

Nicely done Brandon. Oh and he doesn't deserve a "sir."

LOL Someone actually thanked you for this nonsense.

 

Cool story bro. Do you ever offer any constructive input or are your posts just filled with judgement and disdain all the time? Possibly suggest a way to improve the OPs process or kindly point out why it may not work instead of just being rude and a waste of bandwidth.
