circaseabee1986 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I have an '08 legacy 2.5i and i had just put on some 18x7.5 enkei rims with 225/40 tires. loooks great and i was planning to just buy lowering springs afterward, but what happened was, the setup actually closed the wheel gap in the rear and and slightly increased it in the front. (great if youre running the baja 1000,haha) but now im forced to buy coilovers to raise the rear a little and lower the front. A friend of mine had sort of the same problem with his sti and fixed it with coilovers. I guess that happens with subies. My question is, is there anything besides coilovers that i can do? and also, does anyone else have a problem with their legacy sagging just a little over the left rear tire???

katalyst Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 most cars have a slightly higher ride height in the front for steering clearance, it may just be more obvious now with the larger wheels. for the most part springs will probably even out the ride height. you can look around in the suspension forum for different setups available. there's also a wiki article with the different drops provided (though some of the actual numbers may vary) but it's a good estimate http://subiwiki.com/wiki/index.php/BL_%282005-2009%29#Handling_Modifications pretty much all the suspension components are the same between the 2.5i and the GT so anything for the GT should work with the exception of a few components, namely the front sway bar off the top of my head. also in the NA forum a bunch of 2.5i owners have discussed suspension and performance options. (possibly move this thread to suspension?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitetiger Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 all suspension upgrade available for the LGT will work on the 2.5i legacy except for front swaybars and the cusco front lower armbar. the are 2.5i specific front sways that fit your car. other than that. you can pretend you car is a gt and get whatever you want for suspension stuff.

frostbite3360 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I know rallitek makes a front sway bar specific to our 2.5i's, so you can check them out. IF you wanna try them, Megan racing makes a coilover system for the Legacy for a good price - if you're looking to spend about a 1,000$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EJ252NA Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 @Whitetiger: So basically even the '05 Legacy GT suspension parts will work on a '05 2.5i, even the strut bars? Do I understand it right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katalyst Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 yes, strut bars will work someone please move this to suspension or delete this thread, and for all 2.5i owners, head to the N/A section for info --> search Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
