Lowering kits?
« on: May 05, 2017, 03:36:35 pm »
So I've been thinking about lowering my car, and looked into it a bit. I've done minimal work on suspensions over the years. But I was looking for suggestions on lowering kits... I can't afford adjustable coilovers. Would it be best to go with just lowering springs?

I'm just looking for suggestions, thanks for the help in advance :)

For Legacy '97?
How much lower you want to go?

If you want lower, and don't want coilovers, "yes, I would agree with doing lowering springs".

I'm not entirely familiar with the legacy chassis, but it might be worth looking into the legacy gtb suspension assuming that's not what you already have.

You can get a lowering kit at Princess Auto for $10.

I may scream like a dainty lady, but I punch like a fairly strong 11-year-old.

I'm not sure, maybe 1-2 inches lower

Not sure if this is right part number, but it come out through search... This is only for front two... You will need to dig more for part numbers
