rs6er Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 Is anyone who is complaining about the stock suspension driving a Spec B? I hear all this stuff about cars floating and not cornering flat, etc, and I am wondering what they are talking about. My car corners flat even when it's about to slide, which it never seems to do. Are the Bilstein struts that much better than the LGT ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the Bilstein struts that much better than the LGT ones? The inverted Bilsteins are part of Subaru's rally heritage and they're rebuildable! They make for a superb GT suspension. Long trips are comfy and you can toss it around nicely. Thanks the lower unsprung wieght of the Al suspension parts, it's one of the most capable suspension set ups in the OEM world, IMHO. The OEM 18s with stock rubber aren't "heavy". They're strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rao Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 It's the King of Cars!!!! The Legacy has a fine suspension; it is not a race car and some people want to make it feel like one.

I blieve the OP was refering to the Spec. not the LGT. The Spec.B is closer to a race car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vimy101 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Now THAT is funny. What's funny about it? It (the LGT) is slower and not in the same league in handling because of its OEM tires and suspension. What would you do to make a car more competive? I'd give it more power and better handling.

rao Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Vimi - the notion that you think the Spec B is a race car is both spectacularly funny and extremely sad. To make the Spec B more competitive as a race car I would make it a race car but to really answer that I need to now what kind of racing you are interested in: Top Fuel, NASCAR, Formula 1, maybe some figure 8 demolition derby, circle track, dirt track, hill climbing? It is not a race car. Rob IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR CAR YOU SHOULD NEVER DRIVE IT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
