ChrisCrash Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 all these stories want to make me lower my car for it to be more noticeably awesome... You can always go rpmk104's route and raise it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripstik Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 You can always go rpmk104's route and raise it up! hahaha no its too big and to good on the highway for me to be into that. if it was an impreza tho i could be into that. I wonder if i could get away with larger tires + a little drop to give me a similar ground clearance with less arch gap....

ChrisCrash Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 I'll be doing a 3/4 inch drop on 255/40/ 19x8.5 et38 this weekend. I'll post some pics up to see if its something you'd be interested in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisCrash Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 (edited) It worked fine when not lowered but im worried about the front. Worst case I leave the stockers on there and sell that setup for a new one. Except i still have snow tires on my stockers and its 85 degrees out Pre-drop Edited May 27, 2016 by ChrisCrash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laopadak Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Looking good ChrisCrash- FYI, I'm running 19X8, +35 on 245/40/19. Dropped on Eibachs (1") w/ Koni's and get the occasional rub in the rear over medium to large bumps. May end up needing to roll the rear fenders slightly but only after I get a chance to inspect. I think your wheel specs and tire specs, you'll be poking more than me, 3/4" drop might prevent rubbing but my guess is a roll is in your future.

ChrisCrash Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Thanks Lao, I actually rolled the rears last year because the suspension was so bouncy I was hitting it on almost any bump. New suspension is pretty stiff tho so im hoping I luck out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

encore75 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Got deuces from two different WRX drivers today. Not too bad for up here in the Subie saturated Pacific Northwest, where if you listen to the guys in the PNW sub-forum, they hate on 5th Gens.

s2baru Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Hahaha domt worry about those guys in the PNW forum. We're all prettttyyy sarcastic group of fellas. 4thgens are wildly abundant up there and those dishing out the hate happen to have some of the most respected ones. It's us teasing one another, don't take too much offense to it. Just be glad Mr.Tris is banned. He's a handful, even in person he didn't have much to say about my car until he finally realized the build he backed off a little with smartass comments. Boxita, Magnusonsubie and a few other repetitive posters are VERY knowledgeable. Good guys to have on your side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackal8788 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Yesterday I had the L7 out for a spirited drive in the country not far from my house. During the drive, an Evo 9 rolled up behind me, though he didn't get up on my tail and ride it like I was anticipating. We came into a roundabout (yes, there is actually a roundabout on this country road), me still leading, and I nailed it on the way out. I expected him to be either on my a$$ or pulling alongside to pass but he remained in my rearview with me very slowly pulling away until I let off at ~75 mph. I dialed it back after that and started making my way home via a series of back roads with him still following me, albeit at a reasonable distance. Finally I stopped at a grocery store near my house just to see if he was going to pass on or pull in. I didn't think I had done anything to legitimately piss him off but the roads he followed me on seemed too deliberate to just be his chosen route for the day. He pulled in and trotted over to me as I was walking up to the store with a small smile on his face and he said 'Dude, what the f*ck is that thing? I was planning to walk you coming out of that roundabout.' I told him a little bit about the car and he made as if to get going after telling me it was the meanest and loudest sleeper he'd ever seen. I thanked him and walked into the store. As I did, I looked out the windows back to the parking lot and saw him outside snapping a few shots of the car with his phone VF54 to 20G to VF54 to 18G build thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisCrash Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Cruisin on the highway at a smooth 60,can't go any faster because of the bent rims, and an old school 5.0 mustang pulls up next to me, gives me a nod, I give him the thumbs up, he revs and takes off like a bat outta hell, gave me the chills it sounded so nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeuEmMaiMai Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 I have had several comments on my car since I got it. I think that the venetian red and dark blue colors make the Legacy really stand out in a good way.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
