Scubaboo Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 I ended up with mine as a set from Yahoo.jp auctions, but a consistent easy way to find all the braces is to search "Cusco Legacy BM" on ebay. The plates are the second result. Granted, not for $132.30, but it's at least a consistent way to locate a seller for them and the other braces.

Timothy.B Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Corey, er, um...Humble Rumble. You should really move to Ohio to rust up some of that car. It's looking too nice under there. I was literally just thinking like an hour ago, "I should do some bracing, the car doesn't feel 'tight' enough." Maybe sometime this year I'll start doing some bracing mod and finally upgrade the 20mm RSB to 22mm. Timothy.B's 2011 LEGACY 3.6R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cww516 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 As someone who grew up 20 minutes west of where he lives- don't worry, they use plenty of salt in Illinois, too. Moving north didn't help me on that front, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humble Rumble Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Schaumburg didn't buy enough salt one year, so they doubled up on salt the following year. Well, that year was extra mild, so they used it all anyways. The ground was crunchy until March. 2012 Legacy 3.6R Build Thread 5th Gen Legacy BM/BR Body Kit Compendium Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta use all the salt you were allotted, otherwise they'll assume you don't need that much and you'll run low the next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humble Rumble Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 $155 is a very fair price for them, especially considering that the improvement in feel is on par with the change felt from the Whiteline rear sway bar. 2012 Legacy 3.6R Build Thread 5th Gen Legacy BM/BR Body Kit Compendium Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loya1ty Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Bosch rear tail light bulbs (7443) off of Amazon. I usually get Sylvania from Advanced Auto, but thought I'd give em a try. $5. Was close to going down the rabbit hole of the rear trunk brake light mod and VLED upgrade.. lol dang you enablers on here, but convinced myself to hold off.

Was close to going down the rabbit hole of the rear trunk brake light mod and VLED upgrade.. lol dang you enablers on here, but convinced myself to hold off. Ya I almost was going to try out some LED bulbs for my tailights and turn signals myself. Then I realized the cost, and how much of a pain it is to get them to actually work properly without setting off the car's warnings about having dead bulbs. I just bought the brightest halogen bulbs I could buy (Sylvania Silverstar Bulbs) since I know they will work without pissing off the car lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonfaciosCuredMeats Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Haha good timing though because I have a cart full of LEDs for nearly every bulb in the car from Superbrightleds I was just about to purchase. I'm interested in what issues have people had with LEDs in turn and brake? Based on my research here there is just the issue with hyperflashing that is remedied with the tap touch module. Certainly don't remember reading anything about setting off warnings... You're right about the cost being 3x more, but for peace of mind that they'll outlast the damn car I'm ok with that.
