  1. I buy stock paper filters in bulk to save money and change every 6 months to 1 year and it keeps my allergies at bay. Its dusty here in Phoenix AZ so I'm OK with changing them out fairly often.
  2. I've been VERY pleased with Michelin AS3+ tires on both a 2015 wrx I owned, and my current 2019 legacy 3.6r. Handle well, quiet, impressive in rain too. They are not inexpensive... but I put a lot of value in a quality tire and am willing to pay accordingly - its a good time to buy when Costco has a sale on michelins and install
  3. My 2019 3.6r is pretty quiet... after swapping the stock crap tires for Michelin AS3+ tires... YMMV. There is a great site run by a guy names Don who just retired this year. Grab the info here before he retires the site: https://www.sounddeadenershowdown.com/ Check out the "3 steps to quiet a vehicle" and go into the rabbit hole as deep as you dare... I've used all of his products on multiple vehicles and highly recommend them, just have to source the materials yourself now that he doesn't sell directly anymore... the information on his site is still 100% valid and useful though.
  4. I have those wheels and running 255/45/18 michelin as/3+ tires. Also running eibach lowering springs. no rubbing, great ride quality. Personally, I would not run a 225 on those wheels. YMMV
  5. I go around 90 mph twice a day on my way to work and back and never had a problem. In fact its quite stable, smooth, and quiet. I have upgraded the rear sway bar to the STI one, and have decent tires, FWIW. Even still, didn't have a problem before those changes. Tires do make a world of a difference and stock tires usually suck.
  6. What yoda said: https://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/official-6th-gen-legacy-aftermarket-mods-and-accessories-233671.html scroll down just a little bit and look under where it says suspension. I went with the 20mm subaru option myself, but you can do the whiteline if you want without exhaust issues.
  7. Myles at RCE has told a friend of mine a while back that adding a brace won't help with the feel on the brake pedal much on the 5th gens and that it was just not a good brake booster for performance-minded folks. Tried braided lines and new pads and it helps braking performance, but not pedal feel unfortunately. Maybe a little bit, but not as much as hoped. He did RCE struts back when they still made them for that car and springs, along with sways, etc so it handled pretty darn well overall.... but the braking was something that never noticeably improved. I've not heard if anyone has pursued replacing the entire brake booster assembly... YMMV, just passing along what I've learned on by buddy's previously owned 2014 3.6r.
  8. Thanks to all for the info in this thread (and some others on here, particularly gteaser). Just installed the Eibach lowering springs on my 2019 legacy 3.6r without issue. Springs were listed for the 2010-2012 (5th gen) but fit fine when I installed them as previously confirmed by gteaser. Part number used was 7722.140. ~$120 shipped brand new from Eibach as they are clearing them out. I ordered over the phone using their main phone #. Good service! install was straight forward, no issues following the factory service manual. Wheels are off a 2013 sti, (just refinished/powdercoated) BBS forged 18x8.5" +55 with 255/45/18 michelin AS3's spring comparison: assembled - eibach on left OEM on right: before: after:
  9. I am parting with the old wheels/tires. Posted on the local craigslist... Installed the eibach springs today as promised:
  10. Nice! I did the same thing with LEDs on the interior, weathertechs, jdm grille, sway bar, and ceramic coating LOL. Also got some BBS wheels and new tires on with lowering springs waiting in the garage... hopefully next weekend I can get those on too.
  11. I can finally add to this thread!!!! sti forged bbs wheels (18x8.5) I picked up used. They had some rash and needed refinishing, so I had them powder coated by a local shop in platinum silver. I wanted a darker silver, but I'll have to live with these for now... at least until the tires wear out and I can justify getting another color tires are michelin pilot sport as3+ in 255/45/18 (speedo is only -0.66% off from stock) eibach lowering springs are on order, waiting for them to arrive...
  12. that's why I asked him for the results of a stock 2015 wrx on the same dyno for comparison. Heck, and STi would work too.... numbers on a dyno mean nothing on their own....
  13. Can you share the part numbers for the gloss trim? Nice touch, might have to do that on mine... Any details on the install? Hoping it was fairly straight forward.
  14. So what are the wheel/tire sizes? Looks good!!
