Modern cars are easier to make fast. There just isn't a market for someone to spend the time and effort cracking the ecu codes. Look at what a simple stage 1 tune does for the LGT. Ford and GM have tuning support for their V8s because there is a huge market. There just isn't demand for tuning solutions for the 3.6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sschmelcke Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Tuning a NA Subaru doesn't net the same results as forced induction either. Probably the reason no one cares to do it. I mean even Cobb discontinued their access port for the 2.5na cause the cost to power ratio wasn't worth it. Not sure if anyone actually bought it either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HansGT Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 If some positive reviews come out for the '13 suspension improvements, I might be getting the '13 strut/spring combo. 2013 Legacy 3.6R LMT Front Struts - Left 20310AJ07A, Right 20310AJ06A Front Springs - 20330AJ10A x2 Rear Struts - 20365AJ04A x2 Rear Springs - 20380AJ10A x2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sschmelcke Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Do you have the part number for the 2013 3.6 front sway bar and bushings? I'd like to compare it to the 2010 numbers to see if its changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sschmelcke Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Seems kinda pointless to get stock springs and struts and they will Probably cost about as much as a rce / bilstein combo. I really doubt they are that much better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HansGT Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 you might be right. although subaru stated up to 40% decrease in body roll. as long as they are more composed i'd go for it. i've been down the stiff suspension route before...not looking to do that again. OEM set up should be in the $500-$600 range. (plus I have subie bucks so $0 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sschmelcke Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I think the sway bar would account for more body roll reduction then springs/struts. I sent them a parts number inquiry for a 2010 and a 2013 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItalianLegacy Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 are the new shocks an upgrade? or better wait for RCE shocks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sschmelcke Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I'd wait. Go test drive a 2013. You won't be that impressed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HansGT Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Given they've only upgraded the front sway a mm or two...dunno that's going to equal 40%. As for part numbers, what I've found is alot of the '13 parts are replacing the prior numbers in the Subaru database. I have no doubt the RCE set up will be nice, but probably too stiff for a comfy yet controlled DD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you guys got me a little concerned about being too stiff since I use my car for DD and because I don't feel like it is really that loose right now. I just keep telling myself that it's all good because from what I hear on here, the combo is the best way to lower the car without going to low and wearing out the stock shocks. Never thought I'd worry about being too stiff. lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sschmelcke Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 The stock front bar is 23mm. The new one is supposedly 26MM. 3mm for a sway bar is huge. If you really need new stiffer struts Id go with the konis that are in the making. Koni stock replacements have always been known to be a tad stiffer than stock. Those along with a slightly bigger sway bar would be ideal for a smooth daily driver. Plus subaru stated that 40% of body roll has been removed. Body roll is attributed to sway bars. Damping and up/down movement is attributed to springs and shocks. So if they are referring to body roll I would think the front bar was the main difference making that claim.
