FroMan Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I was thinking about treating myself to a set of sway bars and some suspension goodies for my birthday. I had been hunting around earlier this spring to get pricing and reviews. It seems that many of the parts (manufacturer un-named) that I was looking at are no longer offered. I realize that this body style (05-09) is being phased out, but I find it tough to believe that the aftermarket is going to totally fall out on this car.

HarryN Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 It hasn't. AVO and CUSCO still makes lots of mods for this car. Cobb is phasing out its support for the Legacy, same with Greddy, Perrin, Grimmspeed, and a few others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkLegacy Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Why... the leggy is still a fun and easy car to mod... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryN Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Agreed the Leggy is a fun car, but the demographics show that older 50+ yr olds drive the car unmodded. We're the very minor few that exploit the Leggies prowess on the streets and circuits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rick2010 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Hey you can not make such blanket assumptions about age. I am in the process of purchasing the first 2010 Legacy GT being delivered to Suby dealership near me. I am well over 50. For some of us this is the first time in our lifes that we had funds available to put into a car, other things had to come first, house payments, college payments for the kids, etc. Even before I get the Legacy a short shifter and turbo gauge is in the works so that I can roll the costs into the base price of car. In not too many years I will be the 60 year old with a huge grin on my face as I am bombing down road the 6 speed shifter in my hand and with the turbo purring in my ears.

Rick Make sure you remember to shift from 1st gear. :lol: Sorry, just kidding. It was way too wide open for me to let go. I remember when one of my friends got his first manual car. He said the same thing. Long story short, he went ripping down the roads on first gear while smiling ear to ear and hearing his turbo. LOL! But he was at 5K RPM and going 40 mph.

rick2010 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 That is real good, I left myself open for that. This will be my second Rex, the first which is going to my son is a 2002 WRX wagon purchased in Sept 2001. I just love manual transmissions even when driving in Houston traffic. When I have to drive an auto I just get too bored. Actually three of the four cars that we own are manuals, I just don't want to smell the clutch burning like I did a few weeks ago driving some gravel roads in the Hill country.

Aczwild Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 I'm gonna guess you are talking about Cobb. If you are looking for a good set of Sways, go with Whiteline, always high quality and priced well. There are several vendors on here JDM'd All to hell Thanks Jimmy @ Hkc-Speed.com! RIP Coxx & Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peteyjr Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Whiteline and progress bars are the best bang for the buck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John M Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 It's not a smart business move to stop producing parts for a car that's just now getting into the heart of its modding popularity. Like others have said, I've been paying for this thing for nearly 5 years. It'll soon be mine 100% and it has a whopping 17k on the odometer. If you think I've modded it now, just wait till I don't owe on it anymore! Others are buying their first LGT used, and the lower price also means more cash available for mods. Subaru isn't like Mercedes, where if you can afford the car you can probably afford to mod it to the hilt at the same time. Besides, except for suspension parts, damn near everything on the LGT is compatible with newer Subarus (esp. the WRX) so why bail now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick and your left turn signal has been blinking for the last 15 miles. Sorry, I couldn't resist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
