H&R springs not right?!
 

So ordered kyb struts and H&R lowering springs for my 98 legacy gt sedan.

The website said 90-98 legacy all models except wagon.

Well fronts went in no problem. Then the rear springs were tapered at the top and would not seat properly on the struts.

So now i am riding around with the front lowered, and the rear on stock springs.
It does not look terrible but i paid 200$ for springs that i can now not put in my car.

Anyone else have this issue?

Sure. Turn the spring a little bit.

I rode around in my 98 Outback for a day with the rear lowered and the front at stock height....It was awesome

Nonono, the tops of the stock springs are the same diameter as the bottom, with the H&R springs the top is smaller diameter then the bottom so it is to small for the strut mount.

Did you get the front and rear springs mixed up?

No the fronts are same top and bottom diameter as well. And the fronts had the letter F on them and rears had the letter R. So no. Lol

Dear H&R customer,

Before installing your new H&R springs, be sure to check that the H&R spring shape (size) matches the
factory springs. Some Subarus have different shaped (size) rear springs.

Thank you for choosing H&R!

So wtf are the right springs? GRR

Call them

they said they dont make the right springs for my car so they are issueing a refund. Wow. This is ******* bullshit. I would have just gotten the ******* coilovers if i knew this.

H&R does offer the right springs for our cars. The ones you have currently sound like they are for the 04-07 wrx's with the tapered springs. The correct part # should be 29868.

they have the right numbers and everything and match up with what H&R says they should be. Ugh. This is pissing me off.

Are you sure you have the right tophats and struts then?

stock tophats, and yes right struts. H&R said they do not make the right springs for my car, so...

In for results....
