Official 6th Gen Legacy Aftermarket Mods and Accessories

Have you thought to ask Cusco?

 

Usually when you contact a company asking what item in their catalog not for your car will fit your car, they advise against it. If I recall, it's not made for our car but will work on our car and who knows better than the people who've done it?

Does anyone know if these Bonnets will fit a 2015 Legacy/Liberty, it claims 2016 but idk if there is a difference between the two?

 

would be amazing if they did.

Yes ... at least they are in North America. I'm less sure about the rest of the world.

This rear strut bar was listed for 2015+ WRX & STI (link), but I thought I'd try it as I've read about the similarities of rear suspensions across models by GTeaser. Searching on line, I saw a solid one for $99 + $23 shipping and a drilled one for $120 at CARiD with free shipping, so I bought the latter. It was an easy installation: two sockets and an 8mm hex to bolt it in place. The holes they drilled for the strut bolts are elongated to make installation easier.

 

The bar itself is well made with good welds, and is solid (and heavy) except for the drilled holes. I didn't expect much of a change as I already have a front tower bar and a 22mm rear sway bar. But the changes were immediately noticeable: entering corners was smoother, the rear felt better planted in sweepers and entry ramps, and the car felt more stable at highway speeds. I'm very happy with it.

I was about to order the OEM 19" STi wheels from FastWRX for 405ea. but I searched a little and found em for 326 at this dealership https://www.subaruwarehousedirect.com/oem-parts/subaru-wheel-28111va180 so anyone who's trying to get the wheels too, here, save some money

I have no affiliation with them, just trying to hook up fellow drivers

Yesterday I had new sway bar bushings w/zerk fittings installed. I bought the bushings from traildogck on Subaru Outback dot org (https://www.subaruoutback.org/threads/subaru-specialty-products-by-tdck-cke-ssp.458146/page-21). The car has almost 100k miles in the Northeast salt and I'm old, so I didn't want to install them myself. I'd tried to help the installer by spraying WD40 on the bolts, but he still had difficultly with the rear sway bar (Whiteline with braces, so more bolts to corrode.

 

I choose the 85a hardness (vs ~60a stock and available 75a) because I wanted preciseness. As some Outback owners had developed squeaks months after installation I wanted to be able to grease them, hence the zerk fittings. traildogck had told me that the Whiteline bushings were probably still good, but I replaced them to have the same firmness front and rear. Also, I had the Soft (vs. Super Soft and Medium) transmission bushing installed at the same time.

 

I didn't notice any added harshness from the sway bar bushings. It might be masked by the snow tires that are now on the car, but it can't be much more harsh or I would have noticed it. I noticed a bit more "engine" feel from the transmission bushing, which some would call harshness. I don't mind it. [Edit:] After driving more I'm noticing added vibration from the snow tires, which I'm interpreting as increased harshness. However, I thing that it's indicating increased precision -- which I like.

 

When I drove the car I was happy. The first thing I noticed was that there was no delay when i accelerated; I'd never noticed the delay when it was there but I notice and enjoy its absence. Starting to run a series of errands I used a familiar entry ramp and the car seemed to have more roll stiffness. Then, when I was driving in the mid 70s I noticed that it tracked much better. I'd been driving my wife's Mini while the work was being done and I'm always impressed at how stable it feels with such a short wheelbase. My Legacy is now much more stable. Having already added a large rear sway bar and front and rear strut bars I didn't expect this. Trips will now be less stressful.

 

The roll stiffness became more apparent as I tried other corners. While the snow tires are still sloppy, I could feel and control the car better in the corners. I found myself driving faster -- particularly in corners -- just to feel and enjoy the changes. They gave an overall feeling of increased preciseness, which I enjoy.

 

People on the Outback forum reported that their car tracked better after changing the sway bar bushings to 75a hardness. I now expect that anyone would find the same change.

I just stumbled upon this

I found on a few sites "BLITZ STRUT TOWER BAR Rear (96101)".  I ordered from https://www.japanparts.com/parts/detail/?id=55747 . I don't know if it will be structurally supportive (obviously I hope it will be) or just show-y bling with no performance increase.  I had been looking for a rear bar for a while and SSD doesn't sound like they're coming out with one anytime soon.  I'll update about fitment and if I notice anything.
