Front bumper, grill, head lights, rear bumper, and light interior changes.

 

I don't see any changes to the rear bumper

The china version has an interesting back bumper. Couldn't find pics of the 2013 JDM rear bumper...but this china bumper makes for an easy diffuser add.

instrument cluster is different, too

Does anyone know if this limited gauge cluster is a direct swap for the non-limited cluster in the 2013's? I ordered a 3.6r base but I would like to have this cluster.

Wondering if TEIN/H&R lowering springs will fit the 2013 model of Legacy (2.5 or 3.6); I read that at least the springs are different than the 2010-2012. Thanks!

 

No one has probably tried yet. As long as the struts didn't change any of those aftermarket springs should be good to go. Personally I wouldn't go with Tein. I'd go Swift/Eibach/H&R/Racecomp etc.

Is there a particular reason for not recommending TEIN? I do like Eibach.

 

In other words, if the part number of the 2013 struts are same as previous years, then the chance is good?

 

Thanks again

 

I haven't personally used them but a lot of people don't seem to like them. IMO just from looking at the drop and reading about the specs they lower the car too much and the spring rate isn't high enough for that amount of drop. Plus you are better off with a more moderate drop if you want the stock shocks to last for awhile.

I've been a fan of Eibachs. I had them on my SpecV Nissan and my 2005 Altima SER as well as putting them on my brothers Altima. I have them on my '12 LGT and chose it for the 1'' drop all the way around. they include bump stops to help. The idea is that I can just clear the typical grocery store parking lot speed bump. I found searching for a "scrape-free" path to be tedious when I drove my Turbo RX7 that was significantly dropped. But each and their own.

Thank you again for the personal experience, which IMHO helps more than specs on paper. I remembered the Prodrive WR setup that I bought for my 2.5RS long time ago, which has Eibach springs; great balance of performance and comfort. I had a TEIN for my wife's ex-Scion xA; inexpensive and good performance, but very harsh ride for just springs replacement.

 

It's tough decision really; the 2013 I read have much improved suspension, but the big wheel gap is something I prefer not having...sigh. That's why I love the stock setup of MB/BMW/Audi.

 

Found this website that states all these parts will fit 2013 Legacy...wondering if it's true?
