Legacy Suspension, SS vs NA

[Redlined]

Blah blah blah, health, income, selling stuff, blah

thinking about selling the OEM springs and sways from Angel, started doing some research before I put up an add an noticed something rather disturbing.


Stock and aftermarket bars and spring rates
Swaybars:
...................................Front.........................Rear
legacy sedan awd..........18............................16
legacy turbo S...............18............................18

Springs:
..........................................Front............................Rear
legacy sedan..................123..........0"...............129...........0"
legacy sedan awd...........132..........0"...............132...........0"
legacy turbo S................132..........0"...............132...........0"

So.. if Im reading this right, The SPORT model. had a slightly larger Rear swaybar (excluding the.. LS I think that didnt have one at all), Otherwise the AWD suspensions are identical (SLIGHTLY stiffer than FWD)? I could swear the SS had a stiffer suspension. Thought I read it, saw it, felt it in the butt dino. was I just deluded by the marketing of a Sport moniker?

RIght or wrong, help me out here guys!

Some of the 92-94 non-turbo Legacies did not have rear anti-sway bars. It would have been the base L model.

Regarding the springs....I don't have my factory books in front of me to check, but even if the spring rates were the same, I'm pretty sure the strut dampening/rebound was different. The strut dampening can have more affect on handling and the feel of a stiffer suspension than springs.
