T_Altland27 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Ok so quick question my last car didn't have this issue but with my 09 legacy 2.5i n/a when I'm in turns at 35+ mph the car feels like its rocking or to me swaying back n forth when I come out of the turns and I'd like to know why that is and if there is anything I can do to almost make it feel stiffer I guess you can say. My last car I had was a Mazda 6i and all I had done to it suspension wise was a upper strut bar for the front towers and I could take the same turns prolly going the same speed or a little faster and the car would just stick hard to the turn. So like I said what can I do to change that in my legacy now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bomberlegacy Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Bigger/better sway bars, springs, struts '08 Legacy 2.5i - hybrid intake - delta 1000 - E85 - magnaflow exhaust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_Altland27 Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 Ok any reference in springs or sway bars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bomberlegacy Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Any legacy GT rear bar will fit, but I believe whiteline is the only one now that makes one for a 2.5i up front. You might do some searching in the suspension forum, there's tons of info on this '08 Legacy 2.5i - hybrid intake - delta 1000 - E85 - magnaflow exhaust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheelbuilder_25 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 If you do the rear swaybar, make sure to get one of the braces for the mounting bracket. They are known to break with a heavier swaybar, and sometimes even with stock. Avo makes some... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_Altland27 Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 Is there any one in particular or is it just a bracket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheelbuilder_25 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I believe these are what you're looking for. There may be some other brands as well. http://www.infamousperformance.net/servlet/the-283/AVO-Subaru-Legacy-GT/Detail They bolt up to the subframe mount to reinforce the teeny tab Subaru uses to tie the swaybar to the body.

T_Altland27 Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 Also does it matter what size bar to go with are some better then the others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhatV8 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I believe a 'budget' rear bar is to use the Tribeca rear bar, but you should move up the front sway bar in size otherwise you may end up creating an oversteering situation due to upsetting the front/rear stiffness too much. In stock form our cars are designed to understeer, which is actually safer for 'normal' drivers than oversteering, so increasing the rear bar will help bring the car to a more 'neutral' feel, but can obviously be overdone. Good luck on your search for a better setup. Search through these forums for alternate solutions, lots of folks here have already gone down your path.

cwo715 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 You can shoot an email over to the guys at Rallitek and see if they still have the non turbo 05-09 front and rear sway bar kit jump on it, comes w urethane bushings and hardware that should go. Your sway issues, if you wanted to go a little further; budget bars up top would be GT SPEC f/strut tower braces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
