autobahned Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 I know that USDM Legacy will not come with Bilstein shock, but how about aftermarket parts? I just visited Bilstein website and can't even fine Subaru on their list! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

autobahned Posted June 11, 2004 Author Share Posted June 11, 2004 that could be a nice alternative, if and only if they have a small mileage on it, I really apprecitate the balance of JDM stock suspension, coz I have been in my Tokico/Eibach equipped Maxima for too long, want to get some fresh change, they said the new Legacy's suspension is like BMW 3-series, tight but not harsh, and very communicative...

7stars Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 That is funny, because the Tokico HP/Eibach pro kit combo is one of the softest aftermarket suspensions. You know, no car really comes all that close to the 3 series, and absolutely none can beat it. The IS300 is probably the closest, but it's still not at the same level.

brady_bunch Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 Roger that. The IS300 felt sloppy compared to the G35. It was much closer to the 3 series than the IS300 IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Monkey Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 In alot of comparisons I've read, the G35 either comes etremely close, or even *gasp* BEATS the 3 series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7stars Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 The G35 handles well, but it rides much stiffer than the 3 series. BMW gives you both great handling and comfort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brady_bunch Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 If money were no object, I would go with a 2003 BMW M5 (before they Bangled them up) [img]http://a332.g.akamai.net/f/332/936/12h/www.edmunds.com//pictures/VEHICLE/2001/BMW/100003722/000804-E.jpg[/img] SA-WEET!

SUBE555 Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 I'm going to have to agree there. I love that car. Too bad it's not in my price range. Oh well, the GT will make me plenty happy. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
