I needed better suspension. So I\u00a0turned to the good old internet…<\/p>\n
There were many pictures of coilovers for\u00a0the\u00a02005+ Subaru Legacy model years. I decided\u00a0I would try to make them work for my car as well.<\/p>\n
TIEN was the only company producing\u00a0them, but nobody had them in store.<\/p>\n
I\u00a0ordered a set \u2013 not knowing if they would fit, or if\u00a0I\u00a0could even make them fit.<\/p>\n
When they arrived, I set to work right away. They were so close that I only needed to modify them slightly.<\/p>\n
For the front, I only had to modify the top hat holes \u2013 the spacing was considerably wider. I\u00a0drilled new holes and reinforced them to make them stable.<\/p>\n
For the rear, I had to make adjustments to the top. The real challenge was in the bottom. The bolts on the 2005+ were too small. I created a sleeve for the new bolts to make them thick enough to fill the hole.<\/p>\n
All in all, it was a sweet mod. I\u00a0would do it again in a second.
