Aces36 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 I have a 2013 3.6 Limited. My front left strut is leaking so I figured with the car just out of warranty, its time to upgrade to a better quality suspension. I want to change all 4 struts and springs to something a little more performance orientated. I don't want to lower the car but if I have to only minimally,less than an inch if possible. I cant seem to find a website that sells everything all together. I want one site that sells it all. Where is everyone getting their parts from?

Lots of people tend to swap their suspension to the 2013 Legacy Suspension, since they have a pre-2013 Legacy with the softer suspension that many people didn't like nearly as much. Maybe go OEM and use Subaru's suspension parts from a 2013... Unless someone else has a better sugestion for aftermarket suspensions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLlegacy Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Since you have a 13 already, you would need to go with coilovers or aftermarket springs to get a stiffer ride. Idk of any springs with less than 1" drop. I think Eibach pro are the least drop at ~1.25" drop. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aces36 Posted January 26, 2020 Author Share Posted January 26, 2020 Thanks. Makes sense now. All I could find as far as struts was KYB OEM type. I am not a big fan of KYB but I guess that's all that is available without going with coil overs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cww516 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 I think RCE blacks are 20mm/0.8" advertised drop, but they're also on the stiff side. I thought Eibachs are ~1.00" drop, and H&R are closer to 1.25"? Either way, you could pair any of those spring options with tophat spacers to negate some or all of the drop. Koni front shock inserts and rear drop-ins would be a good call, if you're interested in cutting your stock front shocks to fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zee199969 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 someone on here has 2013-14 springs with Konis forget who tho My "Build" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrD123 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 I have Konis and 13-14 springs - there are a few of us. Works really well, giant improvement over the 12 springs and struts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not a big fan of KYB but I guess that's all that is available without going with coil overs. Has KYB gone off in the last several years? I put two sets of KYB struts in my and my wife’s cars several — like ten — years ago and they were fine. I hope not! I’ve had that experience with Meyle parts for my German cars. They were great until them moved their factory to someplace cheaper than Germany and now half their stuff falls apart.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Back in the mid 90's when my grandmother passed away, I took her 1988 Olds Delta 88 coupe with only 28,000 miles on it. I wanted a stiffer ride so I swapped the stock springs with Moog Cargo Coils and KYB shocks and struts. After a month or so, one of the rear shocks blew out and I had to drive about 20 miles home with the rear of the car bouncing around. Ever since, I have not used KYB for anything.
