I had washed it about a day earlier but with the salt and slush up here it is impossible to keep a black car looking clean.

Flames/Comments are welcome.

The springs are specifically made for the BE?

ted1186 - Whiteline says its about 30% stiffer but I seriously dont feel a difference.

Imprezer - Yeah, I can get you the p# if you want, just have to dig through my receipts. Whiteline advertised them as a direct replacement for OEM pieces. I was able to use the stock strut hats and perches along with the shocks. Tho I will be upgrading to KYB AGX's. I suppose I could have gone with coilovers but considering Im a college student and looking forward to a massive student debt, 400$cdn for the springs looked mighty attractive.

Prodrive just came out with lowering spring for the US spec BE Legacy. Ryan @ Irvine was talking with me about them the other day. I'm considering them for my Wife's '02 Legacy, but can't quite convice her on it. Now that we put her 17" wheels/tires on last night, she's considering it more with the fender gap on there.

Thanks - Jon

Damn!

I was waiting for springs. Couldn't wait longer and ordered CUSCO ZERO-2's. Arg!

Oh well, CUSCO's never killed anybody.

Part numbers are on that link I posted up there. And yes THEY BOLTED RIGHT UP. Nothing was amiss. Install was done by the shop that I bought the coils at. Im not too sure you can change coils by yourself as when you disassemble the strut tower you'll have to clamp the coil down or you'll have a violent uncompression of a coil. Also unless you have an air compressor and impact wrenches at home it'll be a very labourous task if you had to do all that torqueing by hand.

However, I was watching and helped out when they did the install. The hardest thing for those guys was possibly to find the damned strut-hat bolts of the rear multilink. You'll have to take your rear sets off, peel back the sound deadner and it'll be about about a 5 or 6 inches down from the top of the wheel wells. Everything else seemed very straightforward.
