natoli4 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 So I just had Epic/Koni's with Legacy struts housing installed by infamous down in North San Diego County. Love the look, have some rubbing issues that's I'll be grinding/cutting/melting away tomorrow but am really happy with it. The epics are a bit of a bummer in that the ride isn't the BMW like ride I was looking for but the look is a killer...On the Freeway it's a nice ride until a big hit then you are on the stops but until then it's pretty good. I am on soft right now and am hoping I can dial things in once I fit the rubbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaggioWRX Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Looks sweet! I just installed H&R springs and love them. Rides smooth... I'd swap to H&R if I were you. Epics aren't a good match up for the Legacy wagon's, just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatsuDano Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Not a fan of the finish on the wheels, but otherwise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natoli4 Posted October 18, 2011 Author Share Posted October 18, 2011 Wheels have a matte finish that I spray with some satin stuff to keep them fresh. What's the difference between the H & R's and the Epics? curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kongzilla Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Love the stance. Where are you rubbing? I'm on yellows with rallitek and I rub when I make a full turn going into a driveway. The rubbing is the inner back wheel well. OB setup is volk ce28 17x7.5 on 225/55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natoli4 Posted October 18, 2011 Author Share Posted October 18, 2011 No Rubbing any longer, Pulled both plastic fenders and cut and re rolled each fender. Primered. cut inner plastic tabs from the plastic fender and trimmed all the edge off. heated and pushed back the inner plastic fender too. Rides good now. My tires are 235/45/19's. No rubbing on the back. Rubber trim has been removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kongzilla Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 I thought the back inner fender wheel well was harder then plastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gire Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Agreed, looks awesome but my old ass couldn't handle a harsh ride either. Hope you can work out the bugs on comfort. I'm riding my wagon on Bilsteins and Pinks too but it's not that slammed. And the ride is super compliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natoli4 Posted October 18, 2011 Author Share Posted October 18, 2011 well, ride is good until you hit a bit hit then not so good but the highway driving is really nice...probably need sways too to clean up the lean in long sweepers...gonna keep playing with the dials I think.

OutbackXT05 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Looking good ive been wanting to put lowing springs on my obxt. Im still on oem lgt suspension with blown rear struts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natoli4 Posted October 19, 2011 Author Share Posted October 19, 2011 rears are a bit of an issue for me too as I had to pull, cut and reshape the rear bump stops so that it road better. Again bigger hits are what really hut, basic driving is really comfortable. I'm sure if I had OEM springs that were an inch or so higher things would be a bit better.

OutbackXT05 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Ya thatS why when im ready to lower mine more im most likely gonna put little spring rubbers in the rear and small spacers to bring the ride height up a smidge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atchipmunk Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Looks great, OP. What are your wheel specs? I know they're 19's, but what offset? Thinking about adding the OB body kit and bumpers to my LGT Wagon sometime in the future... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
