Upgrading a BD's suspension

[4n70n1n0]

I wanted coilovers, but as I look for BD specific one's I can't find anything in my budget line.

I wanted Tein's, but I can't find anything that I like

So I decided to so Struts and Springs

It looks like many a using KYB GR2's for struts, so I'm probably going to go with them.

For springs I was thinking Tanabe Sustec GF210, but they are for a GC and they don't make one for the Legacy. Will it work?

Tanabe Sustec GF210
Spring Rate - 3.5 / 2.9
Drop - 1.3 / 1.0

Your best bet is to get suspension designed specifically for your vehicle...

The Tanabe's would fit, but you would need to get the KYB AGX (not AGX GR2) shocks for the Impreza, along with the correct top-hats.

Have you considered K-sport Coilovers? Those have a BD/BG fitment.

Fixed, just to avoid confusion later. And Sir Huffer is right about the coilovers--application specific will save you headaches down the line.

KYB AGX - adjustable damping and autox capability
KYB GR2 - rated for OEM replacement.

Two different models of shock, made by one company.

FIXED

Thanks for looking out. I didn't look into K-sports. Ill take a look at them. I was looking at H&R's for springs as well, but I can't find their spring rates

In another note - Anyone know that stock spring rates?

THANKS

[Huffer]

No idea about H&R's spring rates... you could try calling and asking. Last time I called there about some Accord items, they were uber helpful.

Looked the K-Sports up and they look real nice and the price is not that bad for all of the adjustments that can be done.

THANKS Huffer and Deadlydave for suggesting the K-Sports (I was starting to think that nobody liked me here) :smile:

I wont pick it up as of yet. I need to do brakes in few weeks and a few other things are getting priority over my car right now. I hate that I'm going to put a hold on my spendings on the BD for now.

Hopefully in the summer I'll buy the K-Sports ^_^
