Legacy Lowering

[pl0x]

Ive got a 95 rs legacy with blisten shocks and tein lowering springs on 18' wheel and it high rising as.

Im looking to lower more, ive looked/looking at adjustables

What have you guys used to lower your legacys?

ive seen someone on here who has used sti shocks and spring? would this just meran spawing rear top hats?

Hah, don't make me laugh.

But yeah, coil overs? sounds like an idea.

I have a 94 gt wagon and have wrx ra struts all round with super low kings in (all captive), it has got 17" rims, the front sits really nice (about 10mm above the tyre) but the rears are way to low, I have put 20mm rubber packers in to lift it a bit but the tyre is still slightly under the gaurd, was thinking about putting lows in back and seeing how that rides?

Reubz if you laughing about that cause of his pic thats not it now lol..that was when he got the car and it had compressed springs was the lowest legacy of that shape i had ever seen by far was frigging slammed

I think its his own off-road 4x4 ride height ReubenH was referencing to

Nah, i was laughing cause he's complaining the tein lowering springs are high! Thought i'd show a pic of my car to add perspective.

Hmm how much does a spring set cost these days? Im looking at dropping my BH on bilsteins a wee bit and dont wanna lose the lovely damping from those struts

I just sold the King super lows i bought for $160. (Since i'm moving oz any month now, and leaving the car in care of my dad who would complain )

Did you have to swap the top hats in the rear?

Yea mite have to go down either some sti struts and springs or coil overs

LOl i want it like SLAMMED as lol like front right on the gaurds and back tucked lol

Funkytown has some standard STI springs he has offered me, would these fit and be captive in my gtb shocks and how much would this lower my car?

[Guest]

yea had to swap rear top hats, well when i first put them in when i turned a corner there was smoke pissing out from tyre rubbing on guards, now ive lifted it 20mm in rear and rolled guards its sweet but hits bumps if you hit a big bump. wrx have a smaller diameter coil so would need the strut as well, trust me if you want slammed thats captive on the cheap its the way to go

mhm i think ill go that way, theres some version 7 struts and standards spring on here and some sti ones on trademe, then some lowering springs on TM should cost between $300-$500 all up
