LittleBlueGT Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 C'mon, those don't really count:) What do they cost, like > $2K? I think they are $1899, but I don't think pricing has officially been announced yet. Full tune of 68HTA, KSTech 73 MAF, Racer X FMIC and ID1000s................by the DataLog Mafia!!!

silverfool Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 I believe the H&R's are progressive rate as well. they just are not as popular for whatever reasons as the ions. they do seem to lower a little more. FWIW, I found Jack from iON to be very nice in our discussions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
automaticsti Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 get a really hot torch and your fattest friend to stand on the trunk and hood after you get the springs red hot and boom your SLAMMED! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't tell by the browsing the site whether Sport or OE Sports are available for the Legacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsme Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 I like H-tech on 5mt wagon. They make a prefect combo with my Whiteline Adj. F&R swaybars. I think it sits just right and the ride is great. I got them for $170 shipped. those are 19"x7.5" with 225/35/19.

I think it sits just right and the ride is great. I got them for $170 shipped. those are 19"x7.5" with 225/35/19. Man, that looks great! I wonder how different the H-Techs would be on a 2.5i wagon? I know the GT's are heavier in the front so maybe I would sit a little higher in the front with these springs. It's so hard to find springs for the 2.5i that leave an even drop...front always seems higher.

BoxerTurbo Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 What about Eibach? Do they have an application for the LGT yet? I had a set on an old DSM and loved them. I had Eibach, along with Bilsteins, on an Integra GSR. Suited the Integra well enough but I think it would produce too harsh a ride for a Legacy. IIRC, the Eibachs were progressive rate springs as well, seems most quality springs are. Nothing yet on the LGT, don't want to change its quiet/smooth/yet fast character. I remember reading taht H&R OE Sport springs are only 25% firmer than factory springs for any given application, with just a little lowering. That's something that would not drastically change the way the LGT rolls down the road, something I love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tintinet Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Love my Ions- Terrific improvement in handling! - Balanced stance with double set of rear spring seats. - Wife likes ride also, and she's a stickler about car comfort! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Rebo Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 ^ nah, drove on a set, they are firm, but not something that the baby will wake up or complain about. I personally wouldn't say the STi pinks (with OE Bilsteins in my case) are too firm. This setup feels much softer than my OE H&R/Bilstein setup from my VW R32. Actually, I'm wishing the springs were a bit stiffer and that the valving on the Bilsteins was a bit tighter. It's just not as controlled as I'd like.

C Bilsteins, i.e. softer than JDM SpecB Bilsteins. I have the specB pinks. Are you sure the JDM GT Rev. C Bilsteins are firmer than the OE Bilsteins? I assume JDM specB = US specB for Bilsteins? I wasn't aware that the Rev. C Bilsteins were better. Was this confirmed anywhere? If so, then I need new dampers. My car feels underdamped with the regular US-spec Bilsteins.

gfxdave99 Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 What is a set of ions going to set me back? If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough. - Mario Andretti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Is this already confirmed? Well, not beyond my purchase from Japan. Anyway I saw several (recent) SpecB Bilstein take-offs and they always had different part numbers than mine, so I quite believe it to be the case. Besides, I have no reason to not belive the seller. The Bilstein I bought were from his own car and he stated he has 2.0GT wagon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tintinet Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 What is a set of ions going to set me back? Depends on how you get 'em. Group buys are usually a bit over $300, IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
