Sarang Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Hey Brandon! I know you're happy with the '13/'14 Springs & Bilsteins combo, but do you actually think the Bilsteins will work well with '11 Springs? Should I re-use my '11 Springs or invest in 14" Springs? Or even go for Eibach's? (although I read about a camber issue somewhere) I'm currently on RCE's/Bilsteins and totally understand what you mean when you say punched in the head on bad roads. Wished I found this thread sooner! Get the '14 springs. Do it. They're cheap. My '10 springs were like driving a boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DugsSin Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 11 springs are probably the exact same not recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humble Rumble Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 (edited) Has anyone had any experience with the D2 Racing RS36 Coilovers? Don't recalled seeing them mentioned in this thread, and they run roughly the same amount for a set of Koni Yellows with RCE Blacks. If they're any good, they could be well worth it. http://www.ebay.com/itm/D2-RACING-RS-36-WAY-ADJUSTABLE-COILOVERS-SUSPENSION-SUBARU-LEGACY-2010-2014-/322026083209 http://www.vexmotorsports.com/D2-RACING--RS-36-WAY-ADJUSTABLE-COILOVER--SUBARU-LEGACY-2010-2014-_p_20435.html http://i.imgur.com/vOqdHW6.png Edited July 12, 2016 by Humble Rumble 2012 Legacy 3.6R Build Thread 5th Gen Legacy BM/BR Body Kit Compendium Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s2baru Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Spending that much, might as well pay another 100-250 for fortune auto. Or if you want to just have coils for the drop tein street basis are great for the value.

Captain Ned Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 (edited) I've had RCE's and Bilstein's for 2 months now and the ride is very, very rough here in Toronto - pothole mayhem! I put about 45,000 miles on a Blackstein combo over the lunar landscapes of Vermont and the combo never did "wear in". I've said it before, but Blacksteins should be reserved for those who only see pavement as smooth as a baby's arse (i.e., where they were designed/tested).

leighos Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Hey guys, Leigh from NZ here again... I got a set of H&R springs and Koni 8610/8010 ready to install. Sorry if this has been covered before (couldn't find in search) but to minimize down time on my daily, I'm looking for a cheap donor set of OEM front struts to do the insert conversion on, does anyone know if 4th Gen BL are the same as BM?
