I've now got RCE Tarmac 1 coilovers and a Whiteline adjustable RSB on my Legacy. What other suspension upgrades do you recommend? I'm thinking of the Whiteline Anti-lift kit and the rear camber adjustment bushings.

That would be recommended in our suspension path of upgrades. Whiteline ALK- These replace the front lower control arm's rear vertical mount bushings. On the '05-09 Legacy these are prone to tearing and since your car is lowered they "will" tear not "if". The other benefit is increased caster which will give you heavier steering feel, with added straight line stability. There are more pros to adding this kit such as camber gain.... Rear camber bushings- This replaces the outboard bushing in the rear upper control arm. Since the ride height has been reduced the rear camber will be too negative causing inside tire wear and promote under steer. Adding adj. bushings will allow the alignment tech to increase camber. If your car is lowwwww then you will need camber and toe arms. You will run out of factory toe adjustment if the camber needs to be dialed in more than usual. Another cost effective upgrade would be adding rack bushings. They are cheap and will add more direct steering since the rack gear is "locked" in place, not floating left to right while steering(especially when wider tires are added). Do this at the same time as the other two mods so only one alignment has to be performed, why pay for another alignment after the installation of a $65 part. If you have anymore questions please call PS. We might even have these in stock Jason Dales Alignment and Brake/Auto Service Center 107-19415 56th ave Surrey, BC 604 530 9160 |

I already have Kartboy rear subframe lockdown bolts and I am going to be getting rear diff support and outrigger bushings soon. I will be getting the stiffer outrigger bushings, but I noticed Whiteline makes two different support bushing kits; WHI W91379 and WHI W91380. Upon looking on their website, I see they have different lengths and widths. Are they both meant to be installed in the same place? Thanks

You are correct sir! KSR207 are for the 06 Legacy GT amongst other vehicles as well. These are such a great improvement in every Subaru and have always been something I've done on my very first alignment on every one I've ever owned!

The Other part number are the rear diff bushings that mount into the diff cradle and replace the soft factory bushings. These are definitely the most work out of the bunch to install but do very much help to reduce diff slop. |

I was going to order both 91379 and KSB751, are you saying they are both meant to be installed in the same place? EDIT: Figured it out! Would you say the 91379 outrigger bushing replacement is a better upgrade than the KSB751 gap filler bushings? Last edited by brett192; 10-14-2013 at 09:05 PM. |

Do o2 sensors have a lifespan / do you think a faulty o2 could be causing my troubles?
Saturday morning I was driving to work just cruising along Fraser Highway through Abbotsford to Mount Lehman when my check engine light came on. I pulled over into a parking lot and as I was slowing down my car shut off. I pulled the code and it was "P0172 system too rich bank 1". This had happened once before (except for the shutting off) and all I did was tighten my hose clamps on my intake and intercooler, clear the code and it didn't happen again. So I grabbed a socket from my trunk checked my hoses, cleared the code and it was fine all the way to Chilliwack, and back to Langley. Saturday night and Sunday afternoon I drove around Langley without any problems. Tonight as I was driving to Burnaby, when I was accelerating onto to highway one there was a slight hesitation around 2500rpm and between 4000-5000 rpm there was major hesitation but once I was cruising it was fine. After I got to Burnaby I decided to pull out my accessport and decided to monitor my A/F correction 1 on my way back to Langley. As I was driving it always seemed to be pulling fuel and for most of my drive back to Langley it was reading approximately -16% until I got past 200th and then it was -25% most of the time but dropped a few % occasionally (this was read cruising at 100km/hr and at ~2500rpm. As soon as I pulled off the highway at 232nd I decided to pull over at the Chevron. This time it shut off but no CEL. I tried to restart right away but it was an really rough idle, so rough she almost stalled again. I shut her off waited a few minutes, fired her up and drove home no problem except for the fuel correction readings again. Also twice over the past couple of months after doing a warm start the rough idle almost stalled happened twice. Once was after filling up and the other after I decided to straighten out my park job I'm not sure if this is related but what seems to stop the problem is having the car in the on position for 5 seconds before starting seems to stop this...except for tonight. I don't think it is a dirty MAF or air filter as those were both cleaned within the past month and the fuel pump was replaced a couple of months ago. I also have ~218,000km on my car What are your thoughts? o2 or something else? Thanks, Ryan |

For example, common Honda problem is to have the o2 sensor go after 100,000 or so clicks in our environment with weather and all kinda crap. |

When you look at fueling, the main components that will effect your trims will be your Front O2 Sensor and of course your MAF sensor; both of which I've seen fail and cause rough running issues and stalling. Secondly, I've also seen dirty injectors cause similar running issues as well so there are a few things you can look at here to try and figure this out. It's a bit more challenging when there are no codes for these specific sensors but if everything has been fine, AFR's in check and then all of a sudden this happens any of the above would be logical choices to start with. I'd do O2 sensor first, fuel system clean and decarb service second (we can do this for you if you like) and MAF last of all. As for the fuel trims on your AP as a side note... Without knowing what the correction trims actually are all the time in these same load zones prior to the issues, the numbers don't mean much. You can easily have numbers like that on an AP with the vehicle reaching for an AFR in the primary fuel table but the corresponding MAF value is too far off so deep trims are required to get towards primary AFR. The correction for this is proper calibration of the MAF table which is excessively time consuming and often avoided like the plague. Cobb's initial OTS maps are calibrated for the stock box and even their OTS for their intake needs some tweaking to get fueling really nice and inline. Do you have a wideband in your car to know what your AFR's were at the time of the incident??? Let me know if you have any other questions Jameson Smith Dale's Operations Manager [email protected] |

I need to put my car in "winter configuration", so I'm thinking of raising my ride height a bit. Since I've never had coilovers before...it should be as easy as just taking the wheel off and adjusting the locking collar for the spring, right? Doesn't this also affect the spring pre-load, though?
I know I should get the car re-aligned and/or corner weighted after doing it... Last edited by banman; 10-16-2013 at 04:17 PM. |

What are the options in terms of a catback for my Legacy wagon? There don't seem to be a lot of wagon-specific exhausts out there.
I used to have a Stromung on my WRX, and really liked the tone and loudness of that, so I'm looking for something similar. So far Greddy and Borla seem like contenders. Also for down the road, looking for up-pipe options. Already have a Rocket Rally downpipe. Was thinking of going Cobb and doing both their CAI and up-pipe. |

As for up-pipe, I'd go Grimmspeed all the way! Their flex and coated up-pipe rocks! An accessport is also a great add on as is the Cobb intake. All of which I can get for you if I don't have it in stock! Jameson Smith Dale's Operations Manager [email protected] |
