dgoodhue Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I ran stock sized 16" tires & rims with Koni/Eibach and didn't have any issue in the 2 winters I used them with ground clearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripstik Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Yes , my set up is 245/45/18, but my concern is running the eibach with the 16” wheels during winter Talking about wheels when it comes to ground clearance is a little silly. you should be talking about your tire sizes https://www.willtheyfit.com/index.php?width=245&aspect=45&diameter=18&wheelwidth=8&offset=40&width2=215&aspect2=65&wheel_size=16&wheel_width=7&offset2=38 I assumed widths and offsets but that won't make a difference in ride height. small drop in ride height less than 3/16". and 215/65/16 tires are a pretty cheap size too.

cww516 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I'm on stock-diameter (225/45R18) winter tires with Eibach springs, no problems yet. Granted, we've had some pretty wimpy winters since I installed the springs, so I haven't really had any opportunities to plow snow, and I'm sure your circumstances are a little different out on the east coast than mine are in Wisconsin.

Falcor Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 How do they do with added weight, ie adults in the back seat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golferdude1087 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 How do they do with added weight, ie adults in the back seat? Koni/Eibach..no rub at all. Stiffer combo, but not stiffer ride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spb Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Just ordered Eibach springs. They still have them @ $106. Said the warehouse is shut down until the end of the month so they will be shipped in the beginning of January. Asked how many they have in stock, they said 33 more. Now I need a discount on Konis.

It will be fine, I have had 4 people (1 kid, 3 adults), trunk loaded for vacation and towing my boat with my Eibach's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLlegacy Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 The Eibach get stiffer very quickly, my stock springs dropped lower with my trailer than the Eibachs do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scubaboo Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 For the NA guys that do this, the ones with an AP will have gauge overload You can actually program it to show just time and exterior/interior temp so NA guys, go for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcor Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 https://eibach.com/us/search.html?q=7722.140%20 They are listed on Eibach's site for $106.60, FYI. Cannot place the order online till Jan 7th though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcor Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Called Eibach on Monday and today to place an order. They are not answering the phone. Looks like i'll be waiting till the 7th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juuls Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Bought the Media Hub Kit – Subaru (H621SAJ200). Fiance has factory installed in her 2014 Outback, loved using hers too much. Should pair well with the ProClip phone mount! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLlegacy Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 I believe the 2014 has enhanced capability compared to the 2010 head unit. Ours can only connect to streaming via the aux cable. I have the media hub installed on my car, with a blackberry stereo gateway for streaming audio from my phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niko0422 Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 I bought the Perrin lightweight crank and water pulley a couple months ago. Didn’t installe them yet, but is there any concern in installing them? I’ve read that on other vehicles it may cause CELs or premature wear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLlegacy Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Maybe in combination with a lightweight flywheel, but I can't say I have heard them being an issue all on their own. Especially being from Perrin, they make a lot of good quality parts with lots of R & D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humble Rumble Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Haven't received the confirmation of auction won email from MyJapanBrand yet since they're closed this whole week, but I watched both auctions till completion and I was the only entered bid on both, so I may as well post about these. Won myself a set of the very rare OEM lightweight aluminum front LCAs from a JDM Legacy tS. For those unaware, these are factory items on the Legacy tS and technically STI arms, but NOT part of the STi catalogue, so they can't really be ordered. Only real way to find them is a tS part out. Also the only lightweight or aluminum front LCAs specifically for our cars. I needed to do front LCAs this year anyways so it's very fortuitous that these popped up. Going to go with all new Superpro bushings and the +caster one as well and probably get these polished up.

Sarang Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Had to buy a jug of Rotella T6 while I was out and about today because my oil light came on. My last oil change was ~2000 miles ago and today it was below the low mark (hot). So this is the first time it has burned oil in a long time. I added about 3/4 of a quart and the light turned off. The jug was $30 at Autozone and $20 on Amazon, so I feel pretty good about always ordering from Amazon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cww516 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Full price is usually somewhere around $20 if you buy it pretty much anywhere other than an auto parts store, from what I've seen. I stocked up a month or two ago when it was a couple bucks off at Menards, plus the $7/gal mail-in rebate. ...and by "stocked up", I mean I bought 4 gallons, which is probably a 2-year supply if I stick to just putting it in the Baja. Might try it in the Legacy once, just for giggles, since I don't think I have any more of the Pennzoil Platinum I usually use sitting around.

DugsSin Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) I've become an Amsoil junkie. With your member pricing it's very competitive with major brands and having it delivered rather than dealing with Wally world mess Been using the Legacy for work duty last 8 weeks so put a Carhartt seat cover on. Same quality as Carhartt work clothes tough as nails as worth every penny. Edited January 3, 2019 by DugsSin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swells Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 I have used Amsoil in everything since the 80's. Cars, motorcycles, ATV's, Snowmobiles, Snow blowers, Lawn Mowers, Chainsaw, etc. I live in Las Vegas and it helps with the high heats and I have a cabin in the Utah mountains. So it helps with the extreme cold as well. Great oil, I only change oil once a year so the price is about the same as dino with less oil changes.

Humble Rumble Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Ordered a PCV valve today. Car is at 76k, and though I've never had an oil burning problem before, I've had to add two quarts since my last change, so I figured I might as well do the PCV to see if it helps. 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...

Still doesn't burn any oil. But the 3.0 not 3.6 sadly I am of the opinion the 3.6 was a downgrade from the 3.0 Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
