Best suspension for my 97BD?

Post by SubieCRos »

I have a 1997 Legacy 2.5 GT. I was considered getting KYB Gr-2 struts and eibach prokit springs? Comments, suggestions, or better ideas?

Id assume best handling for the money? What type of wheels will you have? Do you want to lower for looks or performance?

I'm more worried about performance than I am about looks. I am using the OEM 16" GT wheels. What is the difference between the AGXs and the GR-2s?

I'm new here, but attempting to look like I know something. If I am correct, the GR-2's are NOT adjustable, the AGX's ARE adjustable. I think that's the only difference.

You may want to get in touch with czo79. He has my old 97GT. I had Eibach Pro Kit springs on the car with an 18mm rear sway bar and cusco front STB. Adam, ended up putting on some cusco camber plates, rear STi strut top mounts and GR-2s.

czo79 could probably give you a better description of suspension stiffness/compliance with the GR-2/Eibach combo.
