ion Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 I was window shopping around today and saw these and all it said was BE/BH B4 Bilsteins with pink springs: http://www.jdmpartstx.com/pics/BE5_BH5_B4_BILLSTEINS_PINKS1.jpe Would these fit our LGT? I thought we were BL or BP. Is BE/BH an older legacy or is that for the WRX? I couldn't remember. Thanks.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Th3Franz Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Hm interesting those look more like BL/BP shocks I think. But, I do not think BE/BH are compatible with BL/BP. -Franz The end of a Legacy http://www.youtube.com/th3franz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ion Posted August 23, 2006 Author Share Posted August 23, 2006 Agreed - I emailed the guy about them and he was not sure either. Probably not worth taking the risk. Knowing my luck they would be the wrong ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGT Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 they looks physically like they will fit fine. the issue then becomes damping and spring rate (and size - if it's different, you'll have a hard time finding replacements).

SC GT Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 I think the rear struts are longer. I think the front struts will fit, but just because they fit doesn't mean they will be an improvement over what you've got. PM a guy named SubySouth. I think he bought a set of BP/BL struts thinking he'd put them in a BE, but for some reason they didn't fit, so he sold them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ion Posted August 24, 2006 Author Share Posted August 24, 2006 Thanks for the info guys - I too have a feeling that they are the wrong parts. Agree though that John is a good guy - he was very honest and quick to respond to my questions. He gets some good JDM suby stuff - shame most of it is for WRX.

Xenonk Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 from what I know, the suspension of the BEs are different the BLs. Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nKoan Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 BE/BH is the previous generation legacy and does use similar multilink rear setups, but the specifics of the suspension are different and the suspension will *not* work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
