Raising Arizona Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 A friend of mine installed some Cobb lowering springs on stock shocks/struts (07 Legacy GT) and were noticing the passengerside rear sits about .25" higher than the driverside. Anyone else have this issue?? I'd guess it will settle into place. Cobb said the samething. Just seeing if this is the norm. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoRilla Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 I have them on my 08 spec b, they seem very even to me??? BTW, the ride is awesome with cobbs. Maryland's Suby friendly Realtor. My favorite suby shop: http://www.IAGPerformance.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raising Arizona Posted May 20, 2008 Author Share Posted May 20, 2008 Cobb told me that its common to have a "sag time" and its normal. I'm 100% not convinced with that claim. He's driving the car and the unsprung weight should easily "Settle" the springs ride height. BTW, it does ride nice. I may get them for my Legacy Limited N/A. It looks nicer than oem. I just don't want it to void warranty. I have 900 miles on it...Think I'll wait. Its a daily driver, not my track car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subaruski Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 will lowering springs really void the warranty?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raising Arizona Posted May 20, 2008 Author Share Posted May 20, 2008 will lowering springs really void the warranty?? Not sure about Subaru, but I know for a fact other manu's have voided warranties before various cars.. Is Cobb a certified Subi tuner?? or is STi there little "tuner division". Each oem seem to have someone doing the mod'd warranty worthy stuff. Cobb seem to have there stuff together, but I see they do other cars too so not sure if Subi would run with them for that simple reason. I think I just answered my own question.

NatesGr8 Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 i believe lowering spring will void any suspension warranty's. so if you have shock, control arm, suspension bushing issues, they will most likely NOT be covered under warranty, but the powertrain should be fine.

XVR_legacy Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 if something goes wrong just put your stock springs back in and take it to the dealership.....i have swift springs on stock struts and they are perfectly fine. I know someone that had the swift springs on their stock struts for 18K miles and nothing happened. -Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NZGT Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I installed Cobb springs yesterday on my LGT wagon with Bilsteins and they have only given me a 3/4" drop all round. I know the Bilteins have different tophats and don't go as low as standard GT shocks, but I thought it would have gone a little lower??? How long and how much do Cobb springs settle??? I think it's a little lower this morning than what it was last night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berkshire40 Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 friendly reminder to get an alignment in like a week.. i didnt think mine would be off hardly at all even with such a small drop, but it was. Mod list & photos _ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NZGT Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 ^^^ thanks, yeah I plan to leave it 2 weeks before putting my 18s on and aligning it. Do you have Cobb/Bilsteins combo? If so can you post a pic and roughly how much did it settle?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berkshire40 Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Do you have Cobb/Bilsteins combo? Nope, sorry.. went with the RalliTEK springs and spacers in the rear (on USDM Bilsteins). I didn't want the car to drop much and I wanted to have it appear level which turned out well. Mod list & photos _ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
