jwalt Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 subielove1010, Not sure why some folks are treated well and others not so well? your question was legit and usually you get a page number or tread reference instead of ? I have a 2010 lgt that is stock. I have several months on the RCE Blacks and bilsteins recommended by the RCE owner. I love the combo and love the ride. It lowered the car about .75 of an inch and tightened everything up. I drive on mountain roads that are a times rough. I drive 14 hours several times a year on the interstate. I did not like the floaty feeling of the original setup. I had a 540I BMW with a sport suspension for years and loved the ride. This is not that. It is close, however. With the RCE Blacks and bilsteins you give up a little of the soft ride but it is well worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandon.mol Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 What the member was advised was to read the 2 or 3 posts literally right before that answer to exactly the same question. There are a handful of people on this forum that go waaaaayyyyy out of their way to help others, both with info and hands on help, GTeaser being a shining example.

jwalt Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 subielove 1010 After your review, what suspension fits your driving style? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredrik94087 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I still say someone just has to try the konis and springs that are sold for the 08+ WRX. I am talking about the set on tire rack which is complete koni struts and shocks and H&R springs for under $800. Get a 3/8" to 1/2" rake in front...not a horrible stance. http://www.tirerack.com/suspension/suspension.jsp?make=Koni&model=Sport+Damper+Set+%26+Springs&group=Sport+Damper+Set+%26+Springs&partNum=1140-0461&autoMake=Subaru&autoModel=Impreza+WRX+4-Door&autoYear=2009&autoModClar=Base If I had a 2.5 base again, I would do this. I had a rake due to the konis in the WRX housing, so it would make no difference. $766 for springs and shocks, are you joking!

bigstrusk Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 $766 for springs and shocks, are you joking! The price may sway me to try these when the time comes. Although, I couldn't find much user experience with these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubieLove1010 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Jwalt, Im thinking to try the koni adjustable struts with my current Tein S Tech springs, or I may just get some coil overs and call it a day.. still undecided on the coil overs. I've narrowed it down to the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredrik94087 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 (edited) The price may sway me to try these when the time comes. Although, I couldn't find much user experience with these. No one has these on a legacy as they are meant for a wrx, but they will fit just fine. Your front drop will be the stated amount plus 3/8" to 1/2". Rear drop will be the stated amount exactly. Find out the spring rates of the H&R springs that come with this set and decide if it is enough for you. They are meant for a lighter car but lighter by what 200# to 300#? Rce springs have a final rate of 240#...and stockers are ~210# for reference when you find out the h&r rates for the particular springs sold as spring/shock set by tire rack...if they give you that information.

fredrik94087 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Yes, but I'd just leave it with the slight angle. Here is my old setup with RCE springs and konis in WRX housing...so 3/8" lower in front. http://legacygt.com/forums/album.php?albumid=1481&pictureid=8329 http://legacygt.com/forums/album.php?albumid=1481&pictureid=8328 That is on a slightly angled driveway and it still looks okay.

lgtftw Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Update on the Megan Stiff suspension....Gborja888 was right. The stiff was mainly due to the cold. Two days ago it was almost 70 and the ride was smooth. Still, would like softer but will not spend $3k on coils and don't want do bags. I just like my cars low.

Gets really stiff below 30 degrees. With the 50 degree temps around here the past week or two it's been noticeably better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ncfree Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 S2baru. How much space do you have left between the inside of your wheel and your coil? And the wheel well? Could the wheel fit in another 3/4 of an inch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s2baru Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I'd easily bet so. I'll have an EXACT answer at the end of the month. I know with the factory strut on the tein s.tech springs I could stick my finger between it and the tire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GravityGear Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Anyone running the H&R coilovers street perfoemance???? Thoughts?? http://www.hrsprings.com/products/coil-overs/ On paper, they look good. Progressive rate springs for street comfort, with valving tuned for those rates and mono-tube dampers for reduced hysteresis. Sounds like a solid street/daily coilover. I'm sure it'll be very comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s2baru Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I've been toying with the idea of a 285/35r18 on a 18x10 +35 tire for summer. Can't really justify another 1800-2500$ for the setup though. Guess I should sell some crap in my garage I have no use for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On that note, are you on coilovers or stock struts. And did you roll the fenders to fit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
