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!
not even in their listings
what companies make them for our cars, othen than oem and whiteline which is in australia
arrrgh!
I called the deal and they have non in stock but they would charge 200 for the front and 160 for the back
(canadian dollars)
too much for me

H&R and Eibach make them, I think. You may want to check out The Tire Rack:

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