BG5 legacy suspension question

[tydon]

does anyone know what suspension will fit in a bg5 legacy wagon? looking at some adjustable suspension seen alot of gc/gf stuff wondering if this would fit? or if anyone knows if the later gd stuff will fit?

Buy the set solja has on here. Close to you and correct fitment no f*cking around trying to drill out rear strut mount.

V7 suspension is a straight fit. No need to change rear top hats.

GC/GF rears wont fit without swapping top hats or drilling. Don't GD have something weird with brake line mounting or something?

Buying secondhand adjusties is a minefield with ****ty odds that's why soljas ones would be a good idea.

Yea I seen Reuben put a pair off v7 kyb struts in but I think he needed spacers and camber bolts to fit the rears nicely . Was looking at some v7 sti genome struts

[les666]

Mine has the v7 red kyb's in and no need for camber bolts in the rear or spacers on the top hats. It is quite a firm ride though...

[tydon]

oh really im guessing the kyb v7 will be same fitment as the v7 genome ones? is it noticable lower in the rear on even height all around did it lower the car at all?

[les666]

It lowers the car a little from stock. On mine with 17's, there is a 20mm gap between the rear guard and tire and up front about a 35mm gap between tire and guard or 350mm from centre of rim to guard up front and 337mm from rim centre to guard in the rear. Also the front brake brackets on the v7 use a bolt to hold the brakelines to the strut.
