Webbiedutches Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Hi I am planning on lowering my legacy and have found springs I think I'm going with the epic springs. Are they a good brand? Also will I need to buy a camber kit,control arms,camber bolts,anything like that? Or will I be able To get away with just buying the springs and not sacrifice ride comfort?

idiot4hire Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Your gonna want to get new struts, konis are the best bet and most popular. To get the best out if your springs and struts or gonna need Whiteline bump steer kit and lower control arm bushings front and rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m sprank Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Epics are Eibach Pro-Kits re-branded (ask me how I know, Lol). They are designed to work with stock struts. I have over 30k miles on my wifes 08 5EAT runing KYB GR2's (KYB replacments for eth oOEM struts that they make for Subaru) and Epic springs. Konis are better, but overkill if you dont have the budget. On Epics the car will dial right back into factory alignment specs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

careercadaver Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 So epics can be ran with no alignment issues on stock struts? Awesome No. Any adjustment to ride height will take the car out of alignment. I believe he's saying the drop is not so significant that it will max out the camber bolts.

iNVAR Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 My rear camber went out a little bit as a result of having Epics, but nothing really out of wack. Front was easily adjusted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe he's saying the drop is not so significant that it will max out the camber bolts. That's what I meant.. Didn't word that very well apparently. Cause with my progress springs they said I would have needed camber plates. Don't really want to mess with that. Would definitely rather have some that can use factory camber adjustments Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m sprank Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 You will need an alignment. But the car should dial back into factory specs on the alignment rack. My 08 5EAT does (and still does after over 30k on the KYB/Epic combo). IMHO Pinks are not anywhere near worth the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
