gtguy Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 So put it on the car and give us a report, already! :lol: That is a really nice packing job, BTW, and can we presume from the box, that the seller bought Zeal coilovers? Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUBE555 Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 Will be rather interesting to see how much different it performs over your standard suspension. And yes, we know MSB, you have a Spec B. :roll: :lol: (Your avatar pic of your car just looks so nice every time I look at it! Makes me want to look at sourcing those wheels every time I see it. :P) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRXTom Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 I'm interested. When do you plan to do the swap? Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mines Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 nice, always wanted some bilstein shocks. Never knew that the spec b used them. How much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicd Posted July 8, 2004 Author Share Posted July 8, 2004 About 750 US landed. Price for the original set new is about 173,000 JPY. I will not be putting these on for 1 or 2 weeks. The car sttill only has 45 miles on it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUBE555 Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 [quote name='Mines']nice, always wanted some bilstein shocks. Never knew that the spec b used them. How much?[/quote] The older GT-B Wagons used Bilstein struts as the B was for Bilstein. I am pretty sure that is what the 'Spec B' also stands for. There are other differences made, but that is the most significant change as it is basically a handling package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bemani Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 That's cheap! Damn, very tempting ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mines Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 No, spec B in japan just means the level of the car. The highest level is spec A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUBE555 Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 I was always told otherwise Mine, by a few guys from Japan too IIRC. Can you find a source to corroborate this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mines Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 U might be right, but what do they think the Sti Spec C represents? I got it from Gran Turismo 3: A spec... people told me that the A spec meant the highest level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUBE555 Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 Well that may be the case for race classes, but models aren't necessarily named by classes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yacoub Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 Very interested to hear how the suspension swap went and also see pics of it from the side in about three weeks to see if it settles and drops the car slightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicd Posted July 15, 2004 Author Share Posted July 15, 2004 As soon as it is done you will be the first to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agctr Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Damn they look great, looks like a great setup, Im sure they will handle like they are on rails, cant wait to see how the car sits on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatericguy Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 nicd, havent checked this thread in a bit, time to chime as its been about 2 weeks..any news on the suspension for your legacy? while i agree that the stock suspension is awesome already, im sure uve seen that vid with the spec b. you too could do the same (wtih some decent tires) and beat an rs6 on a road course. :twisted: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanoswrx Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 How much does that Spec B suspension lower the car vs the USDM stock setup? Also what video shows a spec b beating a RS6? I want to see it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agctr Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 If this GT could beat a RS6, well where do I sign up as that would be something amazing to watch, let alone DO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
