THE RZA Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 yeah i have their Front 22m and rear 19mm Sway kit, as a testimonial, its one of the best things you can get for your handling on the 2.5i, match it up with a good set of springs and you will have perfect handling.

katalyst Posted July 22, 2009 Author Share Posted July 22, 2009 np, glad it's been useful i'm a little confused about the clutch situation now, my previous understanding was that the 5MT transmissions between the LGT and the 2.5i were not compatible because one was a push type design and the other was a pull (i don't remember which is which at the moment) but now apparenlty tha'ts not true and both are the pull type trannies (according whitetiger inanother thread ?) and that LGT clutches can be fitted onto the 2.5i 5MT ??? (seanrose is about to do a turbo swap and fit his 5MT with a LGT clutch) blackfang do you know if that's possible at all or if you'd have more info on that?

shtbxr22 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 both legacies are push style. the only pull style are the 02-05 WRX, and 04-07 STi. not sure about 08+ STI. supposedly an 06-07 WRX clutch setup will fit with some modification. like throwout bearing/clutch fork. don't remember the details exactly.

kw02webe Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 hey guys. im interested in getting a front strut bar. i have an 09 2.5i s.e. my question is will a strut bar for an 05 to 08 fit on the 09 and does a gt and spec b differ from the 2.5i in regards to length between the towers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katalyst Posted August 2, 2009 Author Share Posted August 2, 2009 (edited) ^ the strut tower bar should be universal between 05-09 and the 2.5i and LGT use the same exterior shell so the dimensions between the two strut towers should be the same edit: a strut tower bar wouldn't really give you too many gains if this is the first suspension mod to your car, most suggest going with a rear sway bar first, then the struts/springs then maybe the tower bar if you really want but it's more bling than anything Edited August 2, 2009 by katalyst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE RZA Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Pretty much anything suspension wise is universal between the 2.5i and LGT with the exception of the front swaybar. I spoke to import image about their coilovers for the LGT and they work for the 2.5i as well. As do all struts and springs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.sane Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 The strut towers have the same mounting points, I'm 99.9% sure it will work. Don't count on me though, someone should confirm this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
