derp Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Mine were completely shot at 115k, so I went with upgrading. I got a set of the Spec B control arms instead of doing just bushings as the aluminum arms are an upgrade for my fatwagon. Next iteration, i'll go with group N mounts, but I'm looking forward to the feel of fresh everything for the next 60k miles. I could suck start a snow blower.

Puckman Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Wanted to report back i ended up having the following whiteline bushings installed: W0506 & W53353.

Booo, well hope the product stands up till legacy's final days... I'll keep ya in mind for any future purchases though. Tough time of year with the holidays and all this other big ticket crap I've been dumping on the legacy this year I found them for a pretty solid price. I'm sure I'll be interested in tweaking other bushing etc down the line. But there they are! Now they need to get under my car! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceCold81 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Having the new WL bushings pressed in as we speak! Hoping all goes smoothly! (I have some of the worst luck ha) And can't wait to get her back in the morning, get the alignment done and put a few miles on the new bushing set! I'll post a follow up, as to how I feel about the new install! I just CAN'T WAIT to not hear this damn clunking around anymore! No worries. We are here whenever you are ready and need something.

IceCold81 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 I STILL laugh when these places tried quoting me $1,021 to do Lower control arm bushings, sway bar end links and an alignment!!!! GTFO of here! Just did the math, and this WHOLE thing having it done by someone and not even getting my hands dirty shouldn't cost me more then $560! Scammin a$$ Shops!

derp Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 tell me about it. my car went in for a clutch and flywheel. since it went into the shop (and we found out my flywheel is on backorder), it's gotten: clutch flywheel on the way (eventually) spec b control arms end links sti trans mount sti pitch stop mount sti engine mounts... before it went in for the clutch, i had a 500 dollar deductible after getting hit with a softball sized rock on my honeymoon... not to mention the money i spent ON the honeymoon... I bought another car that got a timing belt that also got rear end links, and inner and outer tie rod ends, and a new deck, and new speakers... Ick. I've spent 5 grand on cars in a month. my wallet is very angry. I could suck start a snow blower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've spent 5 grand on cars in a month. my wallet is very angry. Ouch!!! Yea you got me beat! And I feel ya! Besides the end links up front that are needed now, the LCA bushings front upper and rear's and the new tires this month, I'm getting bored of spending money on the LGT at the moment! And it doesn't help that I've done, tranny flushes, diff flushes, new Serp belt, a coolant system flush along with a plug change/tune up, all in the matter of the last few months, along with the FULL brake job, which I got hawk pads, and I'm about to warranty the 2ND set of pads now! Backs where squeaky as FACK! And the fronts seem to have some play in them now which is clunking upon gentle braking on one side... Annoying!!! So yea this year has def been a little "FUNNY" if ya ask me All we can do is hang in there right!? Just hoping to be on the other side of things for a bit here soon considering I STILL have the timing belt service coming up in about 10k! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derp Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Hey mike, Contemplating BCs for the coilovers. The flywheel is the ACT HDSS in 05 LGT fitment. Having a bugger of a time finding one. I could suck start a snow blower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCold81 Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 P.S. Alignment is getting done this afternoon... But the WL bushings are in along with a set of new endlinks.... And I LOVE THEM already!!! Everything feels SOOOOO much tighter and even throttle response feels tighter, not so sloppy... (Meh maybe it's in my head) But none the less... VERY HAPPY with the WL's and as far as I'm concerned, you couldn't get much closer to OEM when it comes to NVH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having a bugger of a time finding one. I would only consider the BCs if you are getting them for stance purposes. We've seen several BC shock dyno charts and they aren't pretty. The consistency within a set are also not there. We are an ACT Authorized Dealer so I'll find out what I can do to get an idea of where we can get ahold of one. -mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derp Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Thanks! I realize the timing sucks lol. ACT doesn't list them in stock, everywhere else is saying after the first of the year for new inventory. I just want my car back lol I haven't driven it in over a month. I'm still in the looking phase for coils right now. I could suck start a snow blower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
