Perscitus Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 (edited) I'm planning to pick up a few suspension parts soon, any idea which vendor offers the best competitive pricing? Whiteline Roll Center & Bump Steer Kit Whiteline 20mm Adjustable RSB Rallitek HD Front & Rear endlinks (Rallitek's website does not have 5th gen Legacy listed as compatible vehicles, but I know they work. If anyone can provide info, will be great!) Ping my main man Rick of Underdog Motorsports. http://legacygt.com/forums/member.php?u=10142 He's a zen-level suspension guru and he's got awesome pricing on all these. For the endlinks, I'd vote for the Whiteline adjustables: http://www.whiteline.com.au/product_detail4.php?part_number=KLC172 http://www.whiteline.com.au/product_detail4.php?part_number=KLC182 See what Rick tells you. Ok. So Ive heard different things... some say its better to go with a larger rear sway bar to compensate for the understeer and neutralize the car but others are going with a larger front because thats how it comes stock and of course there is more weight up there to be pushed. anyone have any recommendations? i was thinking of going with 22 whitelines on both front and rear and set the rear firm and front soft. but i have no idea. thanks.For your 2012, I'd recommend: 2013+ stock FSB (26mm, nice and bulky for the heavy H6) and a Whiteline 22mm RSB (set to medium or highest setting). Night and day difference from stock and these two complement each other nicely (even better than a 2010-2012 stock 23mm FSB + any beefier-than-stock 19+ mm RSB). Stock Front: 23mm Stock Rear: 16mm 2013+ Front: 26mm Outback/'STI' Rear: 19mm Edited October 9, 2013 by Perscitus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pfoyle Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Ok. So Ive heard different things... some say its better to go with a larger rear sway bar to compensate for the understeer and neutralize the car but others are going with a larger front because thats how it comes stock and of course there is more weight up there to be pushed. anyone have any recommendations? i was thinking of going with 22 whitelines on both front and rear and set the rear firm and front soft. but i have no idea. thanks. Most people are adding a thicker rear sway bar to eliminate some of the understeer that comes standard on the car... It will also add some stability in the corners, and help the car track straighter (less susceptible to being blown around, or wandering on the road). I don't think anyone will run a thicker bar in the front without going thicker in the back as well! I am not certain, but I think the OEM front is 26mm? Or maybe 24mm? Someone will chime in with exact numbers, but I'm almost certain that 22mm is thinner than OEM. I have OEM in the front, and 20mm adjustable (set to 21mm setting) in the rear... I would recommend going at least that thick in the rear... maybe even thicker, but that's up to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stock Front: 23mm Stock Rear: 16mm 2013+ Front: 26mm Outback/'STI' Rear: 19mm From what I've seen when I was putting in exhaust I believe these numbers are correct. with 23 front and 16 toothpick in the back. I Just found a guy with a stock 2013 rear sti bar with bushings almost new that I can get for $50. (either 19 or 20mm?) so I think I May pick that up and run that for a bit till I decide to switch front and rear out. to a 26mm front and 22(23)mm rear whiteline like you were saying. that sounds like the setup I want down the road a bit but we'll try this for now (for 50 bones can I go wrong?). im already sitting on hnr lowering springs and 245/40/18s so it should be nice I think. Thanks for the suggestions! and ill see how this comes out. ill probably want even more though after I get a taste and will be changing it right after haha. ps. would I need a realignment after just a rsb install?

SomeZero Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 If been informed by 6 star they want to install a hitch just to put the fake propeller on it. I can't argue with that logic. Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the stock RSB is still only 16mm on all engine/trims. You can either pickup the 19mm from someone selling theirs on the forum or one of our friendly vendors or the st...dealership. Some vendors even have it listed for ease of ordering (search in the vendor area). But yes, you're best bang for the buck is a thicker RSB from the get-go. If you can, grab a 22mm adjustable Whiteline. Then once you have more funds, pickup the 26mm Subaru FSB. Its ideal for the H6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perscitus Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 In that case sure he can. I Re-read and see that now. As long as its 19mm instead of just a stock 2013+ RSB, which is still 16mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTEASER Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 I think either fischbach or s2ubaru did an STi RSB thaf they found for cheap and it was bigger than Legacy OEM.

s2baru Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Iirc I think I'm with a 24 front and 22 rear, adjustable white line sways.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanger Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Both. Work. Some say fine on ramps under compression, others hanging. I had trouble under compression. If you have the whiteline 22mm RSB, you shall have to rotate the rear spring perch. Does that apply to all WL RSB?

s2baru Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 For the rear you might as well rotate. I had to at least, pretty easy to do no real tricks to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTEASER Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Does that apply to all WL RSB? Sent from my Xperia Z No. It has more to do with the end links. With stock end links there is no need to rotate the perches. With Kartboys, yes, you will probably need to. I have the WL 22mm with OEM end links and had it on with OEM shocks and now Koni's and there is plenty of room.

fredrik94087 Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 ^^^ keep in mind that the 3.6R has a 45/55 power split F/R. GTEASER mentioned to me that the 2.5GT has a 50/50 F/R. And, I know that the 2.5i has a 50/50 split. Handling is a little different. At least they come with bracing.
