One more question!

Okay so I got the GR2s for my car this week. Now onto the Springs/Top Mount combo. For a FWD Legacy what options do I have that WILL NOT lower me? I haven't been able to find anything yet but sometimes it's hard when it comes to this issue. I know there are tapered and non-tapered but am curious if that only applies to the top end of the spring? Otherwise that would require a different strut too? Anyhow, thanks ahead of time. Anyone know the stock spring rates and/or diameter for FWD Legacies. I found Ciper's list the other day on Nasioc but didn't see my model listed.
Thanks
Grant

so you don't want lowering springs?

I'm not sure there's an abundence of non-lowering aftermarket springs out there. You find any?

As for the tapered issue, you can convert to non-tapered rear springs.

I'd just get a set of Eibach Pros. Might lower your car just a tad, but the increased springrate will do wonders for your handling. :)

Are OEM replacement springs available at a reasonable price?? I might go this route, so I would like to know. I really do not want to lower my vehicle.

I can't find any non-lwering springs. 1stsubaruparts.com has the springs for 44 each. I want to look further into the STI ones that say for rally and plan to contact MRT about any they may have. The ones listed in their catalog lower the vehicle.
