[road warrior280]

I bought a 2009 legacy 3.0r.The accelaration is great.Car looks great.Riding over rough highways its not too comfortable.Should I upgrade to bilsteins and the componets found on the spec b?The dealership is quoting 2500.

$2500.. wow that's a lot. I would recommend not buying through the dealership. There are a variety of suspension options available to improve handling while keeping comfort a priority. A set of Bilstein HD's or Tokico struts would be viable, costing less than $800 for a set.

Just so you know. There was a member here who modified the heck out of a GT then eventually sold it and bought a newer 3.0r and said that the ride/handling trade off was way better than he could ever get his GT.

 

Search for the username "SeeeeeYa". I believe he started a thread about this so that may be a way to find what he had to say.

 

Wait a minute. The spec b bilsteins and shocks aren't going to be any more comfortable than what you've got. If anything I would think it would be less comfortable. Unless I'm mistaking what you mean by comfort.

 

Also, I understand that it's all about taste and personal preference.

 

Cheers!

Thanks for the two members feedback.The legacy has mucho power which fits me perfectly,but somehow I do not feel the suspension match's it.I have been reading reviews on the differnt models.One reviewer described the limiteds bilstein setup as soaking up the roads imperfections.Some members mention Precision tunning in Lakewood NJ.It is not close to me but imight consult them.My other concern is will I void the warranty,or will I need the 18inch wheels to balance it out.
