Time to Replace the Spec B Struts...
 

Its time to replace the struts on my '07 Spec B. I'm quite happy with the stock package, I think its a great balance, a smooth easy driver and responds nicely when I asked for more. I drive 500 freeway miles a week so I'm not looking to give up much in ride quality. So my first thought was just go with OEM replacements... tell I saw the price.

I did a bit of searching and it looks like the HD Bilsteins are the most direct replacement and can be had for about half the price. But they are said to be a bit stiffer, so my question is how much stiffer than the stock Spec B strut? Am I going to notice a significant change?

He can help you out. Don't bother going anywhere else.

HD's are 30%'ish more stiff, it's noticeable. PM'ed

Hey Gary (All Talk)

You used to own a gen 1 turbo Legacy and hang out on legacycentral, right?
I had a '93 turbo-Leg that I spent a lot of time with.

interesting we have the same car... again! (Love my stg2 specB)

Sorry, I'm not much help with your inquiry. Maybe look into re-valving (Feel, or something) your stockers?

Very familiar usernames I noticed from legacycentral I as well had a 94ss ^^ We all ended up with 07 lgt's :p

now kiss?

Pick up a used set of OEM Bilsteins and send them to Bilstein and have them rebuilt.

Yep, I spent some time over on legacycentral when I had my '91 SS.

I think panamajack just wants to watch... perv.

Anybody have a cost on doing this?

the pricing is on bilstein's site, but I think it is $85 for the fronts, $75 for the rear.

Anybody had their struts rebuild by Bilstein, what kind of turn around time are we looking at?

Gary

Thought i read 3 weeks a few months back.


Hey, I just got a brainstorm of an idea. Call them and ask.

That took all of a minute to find.

^lol.. now Max I know you had your coffee by now..
PM hicksta he had it done last year

If you don't want to revalve them ill buy them off of you. My specb struts don't have much life left in them either.
