Rear suspension upgrades

[CapnJack]

I've been researching front suspension a lot lately and started thinking about the rear suspension on the LGT. I don't see a lot of aftermarket bushings or other parts available for this. There is also not a ton of discussion about rear suspension other than swaybars, endlinks, and reinforcement brackets. Is there not much to do on the rear that's beneficial other than these? I realize there is no where near the weight on the rear of the car there is on the front. Is this why?

check out the whiteline KTA124 kit. here- http://www.fredbeansparts.com/index.php/whiteline-subaru-legacy-gt-adjustable-rear-control-arms.html

 

that should be most of what is replaceable in the back. other than that, you can get the spec b aluminum components for the rear. and round it out with swaybars, coilovers and rear arm bars.

So those bars will give me better adjustability (precision) for camber and toe and more predictability with the poly bushings. I will need to do some more research why I would need that at this point. I'm not really familiar with what it will bring me yet.

What will the aluminum components bring me besides weight savings? Appears to be roughly 8.1lbs per side (trailing arm and lateral link)? Is the weight savings worth the cost in your opinion?

Springs, coilovers and sways I understand. What are rear arm bars? Are you talking about underbody brace kit?

Thanks for your feedback!

yes. the weight savings are probably not worth it for a daily driver. but you asked what could be done with the rear susp, so i gave you your answer even is some of the pieces are a very minor upgrade.
