Hey, I know that there are few coilovers out there for the 3rd gen Legacy. I am thinking of purchasing ISC N1 Coilovers. Though, I cant find a listing on what models of Subarus that those fit on. Any other suggestions for good coilovers on my 2001 Legacy Gt? Make and Model please.

Thanks.

Thanks.

what exactly are you looking for? :smt017 coilovers that are made for other cars but still fit BE/BH?

There are quite a few different brands and models of coilovers specifically made for your car. What is your goal? and how much do you have to spend?

ps. just because you didn't get the answer in your previous thread don't mean you should start a new one

New to this, sorry. I am looking for coilovers that will fit with no extra mods. Something that can put my car 4.5" lower than stock. My price range can be around $1000. Though, I would like to spend as less as possible, without taking away quality.

well then, not sure 4.5" is achievable, without bagging.
1000 will get you close to decent set of coils anything good will start at 1500 and north of that. 600 dollar ebay specials are crap although some ricers will say otherwise.
There are lots of brands that make BE/BH coilovers there is whole BE/BH coilover discussion thread in suspension sub forum.

I have been looking and many of them say they only fit 05+ BE. Would those work for my 01 as well? And what's your opinion on BC coilover and ISC N1 coils?

05-09 should work but you will need new front strut mounts that fit 93-04.
BC there are number of people using them some say they are not bad but i have no personal expirience
never heard of isc n1

i personally have ohlins pcv and was quite happy with them until my son was born, now my wife likes to complain that she wants gentler ride. If i had to do it again i'd probably go with height adjustable coilovers, not just dampening and preload because mine is an outback and needs a bit more height than leggy.

05+ wouldn't be BE, it'd be BP. BE/BH is only 2000-04. BP/BL was 05-09.
