    These were on my '11 Legacy 3.6 for about 16,000 miles. They were installed in spring of '15, so they only saw one super mild Minnesota winter without much road salt. They are in fantastic shape and make the car handle like it's on rails. Huge upgrade from the floaty stock struts. I'm selling because they are a tad too stiff for my liking, especially with an infant in the car.

    Brand new they were $1000 from Racecomp, I'm selling for $600. Helluva deal for some gently used badass suspension bits.

    Someone just buy these! I can vouch for how good these Bilsteins are. I've had a set for my WRX since they came out. These are better than most coilovers for way more money.

    Agreed, these struts are fantastic! Really good price too. Do they fit anything besides the 5th gen Legacy? The look an aweful lot like my WRX ones.

    There is a thread on LGT about 08+ WRX struts being similar to the the 5th gen legacy. The WRX are .5" shorter, and the lower spring perch is a bit lower since they use smaller tires. Some 5th gen people have used WRX struts combined with .5" strut mount spacers on their legacy, so not sure how it would work the other way around. I'm guessing these would work on a WRX, but it would end up raising the car .5"?
