Goliath Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 That's expensive for that H&R springs,it's cheaper at Tirerack. Definitely agree, they're only $209 and free shipping at the Rack! One of the best investments I've done for my '16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any pics showing the car lowered? Just wondering if it would be too low for our crappy roads in Montreal. Thanks.

fullah Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Just curious if 2010 to 2014 front struts fit the 6th gen? I know it will be missing the mount for the sway bar link but will the previous model strut physically work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goliath Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 What's your feedback on ride quality and performance? I love the way the car handles now, I tend to push it more! With the alignment almost dead on to me it's exactly how the car should ride. Of course you'll feel a little harshness on those overly horrible roads but that's expected of any lowered car. It's nothing concerning at all. Now my car has 26k+ on it and the engine (3.6) is really coming into its own. Combined with the 19mm rear sway bar and front SSD tower brace I love the handling now. Acceleration is silky smooth and it is my favorite car I've owned. This coming from 3 Accords over the years. My gas mileage has dropped a bit, but that's due to being a little heavier on the throttle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it will be missing the mount for the sway bar link but will the previous model strut physically work?No the Front St ruts won't fit.. I had a set of 14' Coilovers and my 3.6 Front Spindle where the Strut slides in to bolt to was 5mm Thicker than the Strut Mount Bracket.. maybe because they changed to the 114.3 Hubs.. I'm not sure what Hubs were ran on the legacy in 14'.. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surmiser Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 maybe because they changed to the 114.3 Hubs.. I'm not sure what Hubs were ran on the legacy in 14'.. Fifth-gen Legacy (BM chassis code, which includes '14) was PCD100 so maybe it was indeed the hub change to PCD114.3 that caused the incompatibility. @redvenetian on Instagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goliath Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 @PATS4LIFE I never noticed the sag in the rear others have talked about. My mom recently bought a '17 and it's not apparent to me. @guzzlemachine Purchased the swaybar from SSD, scro down halfway and you'll see it. http://ssdsubaru.blogspot.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxkita Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Did it get rid of the rear sagging?thats the one that annoys me the most 2 options, if you have c/o: 1. get the saggy butt spacers 2. Take your car to a shop that can do corner balances. Tell them you want the back end lifted in relation to the front (it's called "rake"). Have them weight the driver seat for your weight. Come back several hours later. No more saggy butt. Also car will handle better. Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fullah Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 I wish tein would just make a set for this car and I would be all over it. I have had multiple sets of tein coil overs and have loved the ride on all of them. They balance comfort with ride height perfectly imo. Didn't have good experiences with Megan ez street on another car so kinda wanna stay away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTEASER Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 LA Variant 3 Coilovers and Eibach Pro Kit springs at TireRack I love it when some hoo-ha comes in here, drops some troll, doesn't include links, verification of fitment, or really anything of any value, gets peoples hopes up and leaves it at that. Post some real data. Post some links. Did you install these? Do they actually fit? Or are these again just suppliers making assumptions or mistakes saying that part will fit? Contribute. Don't just give vague hints. GTEASER's 2012 Legacy GT - Sold GTEASER's 2009 XTeaser - Sold GTEASER's 1992 Legacy SS - Sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shut up and stop talking shit cause you're specialJust because its listed does not mean fitment is confirmed on our vehicle. You go ahead and shell out the funds and test fit.

[emoji6] Not only do I know how to work TireRack, but apparently I know how to work you up too. Lol! Yes, Eibach and H&R at TireRack. Nothing here is new. We already know that 5th Gen lowering springs fit the 6th gen with the intended drop. I don't see KW listed there or on KW's site. So again, if you're gonna make a statement, back it up. https://www.tirerack.com/suspension/Susptabl.jsp?autoMake=Subaru&autoModel=Legacy&autoYear=2016&autoModClar=2.5i+Limited GTEASER's 2012 Legacy GT - Sold GTEASER's 2009 XTeaser - Sold GTEASER's 1992 Legacy SS - Sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
