LegacyTurbo88 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Hello, i need some lowering springs to my legacy. I found these on ebay, but it's to sedan and not wagon. http://www.ebay.com/itm/H-R-Lowering-Sport-Springs-29868-/221131106262?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item337c70e7d6&vxp=mtr will they fit mine? I want to lower the ride hight, not increase it. Sorry for my bad english, but i'm from norway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyposeur Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Those should work just fine. I have a set of those that I have been meaning to install on my second gen wagon. It should drop you at least an inch, if not an inch and a half. Keep in mind that you will have 'saggy butt' syndrome. This just means that your rear will be sagging compared to the front by a little bit. I have some spacers that will be installed on the rear struts. I don't remember exactly how thick they are. Nice turbo wagon by the way. If you want I can take some pics of my spacers tomorrow and measure the thickness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ihada147 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 So would the spacers solve the saggy rear? If so could you share the source of these? And also is there like an ideal combination of struts? I was gonna go with kyb struts and whichever springs are best for a decent price, I dont want that much of a drop lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I was afraid of that.. It's got a saggy but even with old original springs. Yes I want that very much, and where did you get them? Thank you, and I have great plans for it:) I have parked it for the winter and are gonna restore it:) can document it with pictures along the way, but not so much writing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobydoo73 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I think these are the ones that will work for our cars. http://www.paranoidfabrications.com/shop/subaru-impreza-gc8-hdpe/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there some way to measure the raise i'd need? Or is it just a trial and error type thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyposeur Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I think the 1/2 inch spacer is what you would need since it is about the average sag. You could measure how much your butt sags right now and see how much that is for reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegacyTurbo88 Posted January 25, 2013 Author Share Posted January 25, 2013 Thank you I would order these. But will it affect the handling(caster,camber) the negative way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyposeur Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 They won't hurt anything or cause any problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LegacyTurbo88 Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 Hello, it's been a while since my last post. Sorry about that guys! I've found some new lowering kits on ebay. What do you think about these, any recomendations? http://item.mobileweb.ebay.ch/viewitem?itemId=130823574636 http://item.mobileweb.ebay.ch/viewitem?itemId=300936004274 http://item.mobileweb.ebay.ch/viewitem?itemId=150968484559 http://item.mobileweb.ebay.ch/viewitem?itemId=380663359796 http://item.mobileweb.ebay.ch/viewitem?itemId=200918485372 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegacyTurbo88 Posted August 8, 2013 Author Share Posted August 8, 2013 Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bdubs Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Well, I would suggest you go with known brands, such as the last two. H&R and Whiteline are pretty well established brands with good reputations. With that, just be aware of the struts you are running. Not sure if you can get kyb agx struts where you live, but those springs with the kyb struts would be a great set. I don't see anywhere whether these are designed for a sedan or wagon, but you may need spacers still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
