wrx2legacy Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 INSTALLED: Tanabe NF210 springs Tanabe Sustec front strut bar Tanabe Sustec under brace bar! all these parts are us prototypes and should be availlabe for purchase in march! DRIVING IMPRESSION: I am comparing this to the stock feeling legacy gt limited, because i have not had the oppurtunity to ride in any other suspension set ups. The springs feel very "streetable" meaning the car can still cruise very comfortably and the stock plush feeling is still there. the car does in fact tend to rebound a little faster since the spring rate is higher then stock so there is very very slight bounce to the car going over a bumpy section. The bounce is NOTHING like a wrx on ground control suspension or anything that an unsuspecting passenger would notice. but it is to be expected with stiffer springs. The NF210 is tanabe's "normal feeling" spring set up and provides a very comfortable and responsive ride. overall the car is now lowered a full 1.5 inches from stock and looks very sporty... (i will post pics later). The strut bar and underbrace i can DEFINATELY feel the difference as far and the car falling into and following grooves in the road.. the "floaty" feeliing is definately gone. Obviously the car isn't going to instantly be a full race car but there is more grip and "solidity" (if thats even a word) when needed. i have taken pics of all this stuff and i will post pics later..... i just thought i would let you know what to expect when all this stuff comes out.. alll in all this in an EXCELLENT set up for the street and it gives the car a more aggressive look. i cant wait to see what this will look like with 19's on it.

axis008 Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 You are Wunna's (pnut's) friend aren't you? I'm Ben, his family friend. I saw your car on the freeway (10W on the way home from JGTC), but my stupid batteries were out on the camera, so I couldn't snap a shot of your car. Glad you joined the boards. Welcome! -ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostjunkie Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 c'mon WRX2Legacy, I'll trade you, we even have the same color! LOL. Nice looking car. The drop is agressive, but not too low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoxerGT2.5 Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Looks like they dropped the rear lower than the front???? OBAMA......One Big Ass Mistake America! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fressshhh Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Looks like they dropped the rear lower than the front???? Yea it looks like that to me too? Is it the picture or is the rear a little bit lower? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrx2legacy Posted December 23, 2004 Author Share Posted December 23, 2004 the rear does sit a TAD bit lower than the front but i think its because i had a trunk full of christmas gifts and a MITER SAW isnt exactly the lightest of gifts... but the production springs will be a little more symmetrical and will have a rear that is higher than the ones i have... (according to tanabe) also i will post more pics of the under brace and the strut bar when i have a chance... and thanks for the welcome AXIS.

wrx2legacy Posted December 29, 2004 Author Share Posted December 29, 2004 i know this is THE WRONG forum but they are looking for any 200-2003 audi a4 NON QUATTRO'S and any 2003+ mitsubishi eclipses for FREE test fitting. (meaning you keep the product after it fits on your car) so make sure to tell your friends .... -mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
