New Purchases

In an effort to smooth out my ride I have ordered the following items.

1.  Koni adjustable Struts - these will replace my stock oem struts that have 74k miles on them.  These shocks are the best money can buy for the 4th Generation Subaru Legacy.  I am excited to dial these in with my Cobb Springs and due to the fact that you can adjust them I am confident I can find a balance between the two.

2. Whiteline Control Arm Bushings - these will replace my oem torn bushings, these should tighten up the car even more and reduce body roll.  There may be a slight increase in noise/vibration felt but most people don't notice.

3.  Whiteline Anti-Lift kit Bushings - these will also replace the other control arm bushings that are old and torn on my Legacy.  Again these will help tighten up the car both in terms of body roll and steering response.

4. Whiteline Bump-Steer Kit- These bushing replace the ball joints and will also tighten the steering response.

After these are installed I will be getting a new alignment and having my wheels rotated and balanced.  I expect my slight vibration at freeway speeds to be a thing of the past.  Stay tuned for reviews.

Suspension Review

I have had some time to drive my car with the Cobb Springs and Sway bar and I am 100% happy with the handling improvement and looks of the car but not thrilled with the ride quality.  Low speed bumps are a bit jarring and I have picked up a slight vibration between 60-70 mph.  I have a feeling that my stock struts are to blame, they have 74k miles on them and are not reacting well to the Cobb Springs.  My lower control arm bushings are also torn and will need to be replaced.  See my next post for my proposed solution.
