What A great article!

I've been planning On doing something like this on my BH,But have been having a hard time finding a supplier that has parts available.I've had a rear sway bar(cusco)
and strut braces on order for over 2months. I've tried other places,but I've been told it takes a loooong time to get stuff from cusco. So far I've been paiteint,but if theres someplace that I could get it sooner I love any suggestions.

Imprezer... Don't you have CUSCO coilovers on this car?

If not I'd still like to see some side shots of it with the Volks on there. I'm trying to convince my wife that with all the mods we've done.. it does need lowered now that she's on 17" wheels.

Thanks - Jon

Good info...

Good information on the 'Origin of the Species'.

Had no idea they did a complete redesign for 2000. A couple of questions...

1: Did Subaru have the keen insight to keep the wheels used from the 'older', i.e. pre 2000, Legacy models? Are the dimensions and spec's the same? I would like to put a set of 16in. GT or Outback wheels on our L Wagon.

2: How can I find out what parts are available from CUSCO for our 'BH'(?). I would like to stiffen it up a bit but have no idea where to look.

3: What is everyones choice of tires for these vehicles? Dislike the stock RE92's. I am looking for a good all around tire with an emphasis on traction. I'm leaning towards either RE950's or SP Sport A2's.

Thanks a bunch.

performance parts for 97 legacy GT

Is a 97 Legacy GT a BH or a BE? Is there anywhere you know of in Northern California that supplies performance parts or knows a lot about Subarus and performance issues?

Have you ever heard of putting a 30 amp fuse in the fuse box labeled FWD to engage just the front wheels?

BD is the chassis code.
Some parts from the 2.5RS will fit depending on year.
Yes, but that is to towing and emergencies only.

what years fit a 97 legacy gt. probably not a good idea to put a 30 amp fuse in and try to do front wheel smoke shows.
