What suspension would you suggest to lower my bh legacy L? I'll take any improvement I can get. I'm trying to do this on a budget.

Please dont tell me to browse the forum, as I'm looking for more of your opinions than anything.

Thanks!

I don't know about budget, but my H&R sport lowering springs work quite well. I am very pleased with them.

That's EXACTLY what this forum IS. :roll:

Springs only are your only "budget" item you can do.

Depends entirely on your purposes for the vehicle.

Sometimes you can get a set of used BH Legacy Bilsteins for a really good price, will drop maybe a little more than lowering springs, it's what I use on my 2001 Outback. Bought mine used for 250 dollars and they work great, better than any lowering spring.

Ah, I didn't see that but wouldn't the JDM GT-B suspension still be lower and better performing anyways?

Roger, I think he meant the JDM Bilsteins and the springs, which will definitely drop a USDM BH, regardless whether it's a Legacy or Outback. Not so much of a drop on the Legacy as the Outback, but it WILL drop.

And perform better than lowering springs too with stock shocks or GR-2s, they work very well use the in mountain roads.

personally I don't think there's much of a drop in height between a USDM GT (BH) and a JDM GT-B. The suspension is better on the JDM model but the ride is about the same. There's still a big gap in the front fender.

I back this up because I have stood next to both, driven both, and I haven't grown in 15 years. :D
