Hey guys,
Does anyone know the stock spring rates for the second generation Legacy wagons? I've been trying to find out for awhile and I can't find anything about it online.
Hey guys,

The only info I was ever able to find was this:
"All 95-99 Legacy wagons have a rear spring rate of 190 lbs/in."
Never found a figure for the fronts.

So, that's about 3.4 kgf/mm yeah?
I really want to know the spring rates so I can mathematically understand how the car is balanced stock so I can make educated adjustments based on the current rates rather than just buying parts that seem like they would help balance the car better.

Nah! It's more fun to just throw parts on it and see what happens.

That would be fun! Then we could see how different setups improve handling or make it worse. Just gotta' go make a couple GoFundMe accounts real quick. X)

Hello there,
This is my first post. I usually use this spreadsheet, but can't vouch for it's legitimacy.

Hey, great first post! Seems pretty accurate to me.
So for the front it's 132 lbf/in (around 2.4 kgf/mm) and the rear is 190 lbf/in (around 3.4 kgf/mm) with the info we have now.

Yes, thanks Jay! If anyone wants to play along at home:
To convert lb/in to kg/mm, multiply by 0.0179
To convert kg/mm to lb/in, divide by 0.0179
So my yet to be installed coil overs are 392 lb/in front and 224 lb/in rear.
