Lowering with springs

[Guest]

Well I said I would never lower the Legacy, after my last ride was too low to do anything practical, but im starting to think maybe I should just put some springs on to increase the handling and get a better look 8)

Now I was wondering, are just springs ok with the Bilsteins? Will the shocks eventually burst?

I was just thinking of getting some RSR springs, anyone tried them?

thanks

will

Guy on Tme selling teins for $350. at least a hundy cheaper than anywhere else. I just did my BG5 with Vogtland (German) springs from the same guy. They were 250 and possibly a fraction too low, but looks and feels awsome. The teins werent as low as the ones i got and are a bit harder i think. I wish i had got them now actually ha ha.

I can post a pic of mine to show you but cant seem to figure out how to do... Anybody Know?

Im actually in Japan and can buy from Yahoo auctions ;D

But im just wondering if they are healthy for the shocks. Ive never lowered a car with just springs. I would assume the low ride height would cause the springs to have a lower life span?

Ive heard after putting lowering springs that it f's up your shocks but ive never seen proof etc

[Guest]

i would think as long as the springs are stiffer to stop the shocks from bottoming out, it should be ok. Im thinking about this myself...

Should be fine using the existing shocks. Worse thing that can happen is youll have to replace them at a later date :-)

Just be prepared to scape bumpers everywhere.......

ive never seen a legacy with just lowering springs that LOW, mine has tein lowering springs and its not as high but not low enough for me... i got some V7 shock & springs ta put in and will be flicking off my tein springs

lowering springs will never ruin shocks unless you purposely choose not to put new bumpstops in... you can get a STRUTMATE from repco for bout 15 bux.
