rodan Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Actually, the longer links should help. The sway bar arcs over the control arm and meets the link. If you lengthen the link, it raises the arched part of the sway bar and moves it away from the control arm. I don't think it will solve the problem (since folks are getting contact with stock suspension), but should help somewhat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PGT Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 And, testfitting to a lowered LGT will occur so we can all spend money now?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rc0032 Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 And, testfitting to a lowered LGT will occur so we can all spend money now?? If I have learned 1 thing over the past 2 years it never be the first to buy a product for the 05/06 Legacy till after it’s been on the market for a few months.

LittleBlueGT Posted July 5, 2006 Author Share Posted July 5, 2006 And, testfitting to a lowered LGT will occur so we can all spend money now?? COBB's LGT is lowered now on there own special springs (in the testing period). So yes! Full tune of 68HTA, KSTech 73 MAF, Racer X FMIC and ID1000s................by the DataLog Mafia!!!

LittleBlueGT Posted July 5, 2006 Author Share Posted July 5, 2006 Copy of an e-mail I just got from COBB I still do not have any definite time line. I hope to have a test bar next week. Production time cannot be established yet since we do not know if this will be a 100% resolution until we test it.

BobGT Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Maybe Cobb should double check FSB too. http://legacygt.com/forums/suspension-brakes/38084-comparison-usdm-jdm-cobb.html Very nice and informative - with pictures! Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodan Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Isn't that essentially what I said? Duh... reading comprehension > me... And it did exactly that. Not completely solved, but greatly reduced.

rodan Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 BTW, looking at the pics in the other thread, it almost looks like the tabs the endlinks bolt to were welded on backwards on the Cobb RSB. If they were reversed, they would be more like the stock bar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mgiguere20 Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Finally, here are the pics of my Cobb front sway bar, still installed and appears to be bent. I have not had a chance to remove it yet to tell for sure, but I don't see any other explanation for the paint cracking and looking the way it does. This is with AVO endlinks and stock springs and struts. My rear also rubs in the same place that others have mentioned and pictured here. The rear rubs with stock or AVO endlinks, on both settings, and with stock springs and struts. COBB, please help me!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKLGT Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 wow! i'm surprised they didn't test these out on lowered LGT's. seems like they really jumped the gun with this one! Wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle yeah!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGJon Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Here's where my Cobb RSB hits. You'll notice the blue paint scraped off of the bar. Looks like a revised bar is in the works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quality pieces from what I can tell. Took me awhile to figure out how to put the damn things on! But I think I got it. Tried to get them as straight up and down as possible.

Joon525 Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 I got the new Progress rear sway bar installed with the new reinforcement brackets. No clunking from the control arm and it clears my custom exhaust (barely, but it does). 2 hole adjustable, lowered on iON springs, and stock endlinks. With everyone lowering their cars different amounts, different exhaust configurations, etc. it's not that easy to make a universal bar that is going to clear everything on the first try. With a wait as long as COBBs, you might expect it to be perfect, but they do have to deal with a lot of variables; give em a break. Got any pictures of this Progress bar?

j0ebert Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Not the best of pictures, but I've got a few. You can see where the Progress bar has way more bend than the COBB to clear that control arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that third picture the wheel is at full sag correct? Got any pictures of that angle with the suspension pushed up to the normal level or even a slightly compressed level to show the clearance in those positions? I only ask because if the wheel is completely suspended I would expect there to be more space compared to when the car is on the ground or with the suspension compressed.

johndas Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Here be my Cobb with the impact marks...hope it gets fixed soon as I put the ol' stock one back on and left the Front Cobb on...feels great but I can see it pushing into corners when it gets down to the nitty gritty...

j0ebert Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 That third picture is when my car is still on the lift, correct. I can see if I can get more pictures on the ground, but there isn't exactly a lot of space under a lowerd Legacy for a photoshoot. Bottom line, it has been two weeks and the Progress bar is not hitting the control arms at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
