Legacy On Lowering Springs -- Mega-Thread!
So while shopping for lowering springs I had a hard time finding pictures of the certain springs and the drop related to them, so I thought I would start a new thread to help future shoppers make their decision. (hopefully this becomes a 'sticky')
So here are the rules to this thread:
With that said..... Lets see what you have Leggy owners!!!!! |

Alright, I'll bite, another chance to post pics of the car!
Post Pics of your car on lowering springs (before and after if you have them) Before: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3509/...7e0b85b0_b.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3460/...8dc3e0d4_b.jpg After: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3445/...bd6d46a9_b.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3439/...10d94dd4_b.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3635/...e422b04c_b.jpg List which springs you have installed iON springs for the wagon, Manual Transmission, with HD rears List any specs you have on the springs Don't have any List which struts you have Koni Sports Add any other suspension mods you may have COBB sway bars, front and rear, stock endlinks Size/Type Wheel on car Rota Tarmac II's in gunmetal. I believe they're 18x8's Feel free to add comments on the springs you have These springs are pricey but honestly, they are perfect for my purpose. They handle amazing with the Koni's but give a great ride. The only I'd change about the suspension setup right now is maybe go with a less aggressive sway bar setup, it feels a bit too rough for everyday driving around here with all the uneven pavement. |

List which springs you have installed STi pinks for MT on front (ST2033021010)/JDM LGT wagon springs on rear. List any specs you have on the springs Pinks: 3.9 kg/mm, 15 mm (0.6") drop JDM LGT wagon springs: no specs, assumed to be somewhere in between USDM LGT springs and pinks. List which struts you have Bilstein HDs front and rear. Add any other suspension mods you may have JDM 20 mm hollow RSB Size/Type Wheel on car Rota G-Force 17x7.5 gun metal Feel free to add comments on the springs you have I chose to mix and match pinks and JDM LGT wagon springs to get an even fender gap front and rear. |

JDM STI pink springs
Part number is GT sedan specific. I was very picky about getting the right part number when I picked out these springs and it is worth it imo JDM GT Bilsteins Cusco sway bars. -2 degrees camber Rota G-Force 17x8 - 245/40/17 Hankook RS-2 Tires Car handles awesome and still has plenty of travel for daily driving.

hi, i actually had a question - i recently bought tein s tech springs for my 09 leg. i was wondering if you can use the stock shocks and put these springs in. Also i hope someone knows what im talking about but on the shock theres that black thing that sticks out. can that be removed when you install the spring? becuz im running 18x8 wheels and they might slam into them if i drop. thanks

List which springs you have installed
Swift List any specs you have on the springs http://www.swiftsprings.com/file/ss.pdf List which struts you have Tokico HTS w/Spec B top hats Add any other suspension mods you may have Front STi strut tower brace-Rear eBay strut tower brace Front SPT chassis brace-Rear AVO chassis braces Cobb 25mm front sway bar-Cobb 22mm rear sway bar Whiteline FSB and RSB bushings Perrin Endlinks-front and rear 3/8" Saggy Butt Shims Size/Type Wheel on car 18x8 +45mm Enkei RPF-1 225/40/18 Dunlops Feel free to add comments on the springs you have Decent handling and ride. Drop not too low. For springs I was looking at either Pinks or Swifts. Went with the Swifts for the price. Only major complaint is limited travel in the rear. But this is an issue with any lowering spring. |
