fredrik94087 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 DeltaSniper...Tarmac 2??? If so, very interested in how you feel with it on the Legacy. I rode in an STI with T2 coilovers and they felt great.

s2baru Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 The Racecomp Zeros is what a local has on his 13sti and even those have a great feel to them. Would suggest even those if wanting something slightly more affordable from their lineup. Iirc they're 340rates but can request 400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaSniper Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 (edited) Yes RCE Tarmac II's ,8k/7k Linear Spring rates here (Swift Springs) , they are not that harsh compared to most coilovers (and even some other vehicles stock). It is more compliant and more comfortable than a stock Genesis Coupe, on city streets it definitely reminds you that you are on coilovers, but nothing too harsh, all of the passengers I have had in my car have never complained it was too harsh of a ride. On the highway, you won't notice much of it at all. Some of my Subie friends have commented that my car was easily one of the most compliant coilover equipped car they have rode in. The only time it was way too harsh to ride in, was when I took this thing ice racing on a frozen lake, but that is to be expected. And the car handles very well, with a touch of understeer on the track, probably because I didn't have my RSB back then.

I have 450# on there and need a bit more dampening. I like knowing there is a 500# option with proper dampening out there in the T2.

How much room is there in adjusting the dampening? I want to go 500/500 F/R and have it slightly over-dampened.

DeltaSniper Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Not sure how to quantify this, but theres a lot of room for adjustment, there are 7 settings for rebound and 7 settings for compression, setting the car with max (stiff) rebound and compression for the rear made the car feel like it had a swaybar when I didn't have one installed and at max setting, it made the car undriveable when ice racing (kept bouncing around) I can say that the variation between minimum rebound and compression and maximum rebound and compression is quite dramatic, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubieLove1010 Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Has anyone put WRX wheels on their 5th gen? Wondering how these would look on my Ruby Red pearl. They are asking $400 no scratches or curbs.. http://images.craigslist.org/00E0E_8icxBT6rb4C_600x450.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s2baru Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 That's too much for those IMO 350 or less seems more reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcin93 Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 How do you still have so much wheel gap...? Mounted the Niche Citrines atlast. Still trying to decide wether I want to roll with the Tein S-Tech Springs I have already or purchase coilovers instead. Wheel spec 19x9.5. Tires spec 235/35/19.What do you all think? http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/537/zA89M1.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/538/RSAwMq.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/673/Q3YYV4.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unsp0kn Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Not the right thread to ask, but an 8.5" and +35/40 or a 9" and +30 or so would probably give you the look you want. Maybe not poking out of the fender much, but I'd suggest not going that wide/offset unless you plan on some camber and lowering, which you don't.

GTEASER Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Nice bud!!! Very nice!! You didn't by any chance weigh them before the tires got mounted, did you?

Unsp0kn Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 (edited) Nice bud!!! Very nice!! You didn't by any chance weigh them before the tires got mounted, did you? They showed up already mounted and balanced or I would have! I'll see if I can get an answer out of Konig. The wheel and tire together was about 51lbs though and I read the Motivo is about 26lbs, so it should be in the 24-25lb range.
