depends on the springs.....but around 200 I think is a nice average....give or take 20-30 either way.

Ive been calling every shop in town and no one has them!

Just to give you an idea.....it took over six months to get my springs.....MRT is a pain in the ass to deal with sometimes.

I have a question

ok on tirerack.com they said that the rears need to be measured to make sure they fit. well i dont want to take my springs off just to measure. on Nasioc someone said

" All Legacy from 89- about mid 99 have 146mm top diameter fronts and 146mm bottom diameter. 99 mid+ have 124mm top and 148 bottom."

do you know what the ones on tirerack are?

oh shoot, what i posted above is for the front. any clue on the back?

found the answer to what size my rear springs are

" rear 95-99 legacy BD sedan------------ 70381 top=134mm bottom=134mm"

now i just need to find out what the ones on tirerack need. I tried to get these from another place and about 2 weeks after i ordered them they said that they didnt have them any more

That looks familiar :wink:

Why not just take one wheel off and wrap some string around the spring? Then figure diameter from that?
