exbagboy Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Love the swifts but over time they still tax the stock struts so waiting for Bilsteins. If my ride quality with the Swifts and 20mm RSB with wider wheels had stayed the same as it was in the beginning I would have left it alone.

Scooby_Steve Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 I see on RCE that they say the Legacy Springs were designed with the stock struts in mind. Does anyone with the RCE springs notice any maxing out of the stock struts on big bumps? Do you see any problems in the long run with leaving the springs on stock struts?

minuccims Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Car rarely hits the bump stops. However, the OEM struts/shocks can't slow the rebound of the compressed spring. More sidewall makes a difference as well. With smaller sidewalls, the ride will be more jarring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With smaller sidewalls, the ride will be more jarring. That makes perfect sense. i'm planning on springs eventually. while stickin with a similar sidewall, however on 18x9's instead of 7.5's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minuccims Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 The 245/40 R18s, crap tires, are harsher than the winters 225/45 on the 18x7.5 OEM rims. It's a small difference in profile height but a big difference in ride comfort. Once the Bilsteins arrive, I'll consider skinning with 245/45 R18s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedyj6 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Love the black, looks great with the new springs!  Hasnt settled, not slammed but a lot lower than stock http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k115/T-Ho_man/Front_zpsc835e639.jpg http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k115/T-Ho_man/Side_zpse0a885eb.jpg http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k115/T-Ho_man/rear_zps86d82235.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fischbach31 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Maybe a stupid question....but what makes a legacy gt a "b4" are all of them called that or a few specific ones? If so what makes it a b4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaijubei Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I'll chime in quickly to point out that he doesn't actually have a B4. I think to simply put it, Legacy GT is like a WRX while the B4 is like the STi in the way that the B4 has extra bits and pieces over the plain jane GT. Now, I'll let someone else refine/fix this.

It use to be similar to what you are referring to. if you go to Subaru of Japan they show a non turbo base model Subaru "legacy" as a Subaru B4. The Subaru Legacy TS is the STI version, also "the STI" is not a car, it's a model of the Impreza WRX Its like saving you drive a Ford SVT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TcDavis Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 I have a popping sound coming from the driver side. The springs not rotating with the rest of the strut im assuming. After a while it works loose and i have to remeasure it again. Tc Davis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
