Bilstein Strut assembly

Tuned by STI. Often shortened to TBSTI. Was never available in North America. You get some exterior bits including wheels, Brembo brakes, STI 6 speed, Bilstein struts & other suspension improvements, some interior bits (namely seats), strut tower brace, different mufflers, and of course the ECU tune.

Pros: suspension improvements, ECU tune

OEM Subaru Tires
thesmokyfox
  • Grip:
  • Ride comfort:
Rating 5.0

Years ago I was door dashing, had a really nice set of snow tires on my legacy. That thing is a beast in the snow; one lady came to the door and apologized for not having shoveled. I handed her food over and said "no worries" and brapped my out of her driveway while she watched me essentially plow it with my bumper, easily walked thru 8+ inches of snow without missing a beat.

Pros: beast in the snow

I had the similar issue I had no error code nothing I changed everything. MAF, coil, spark plugs and TPS and nothing help the issue.

The problem was the oil pump I don't know why the oil sensor didn't light up.

Cons: oil sensor didn't light up

Akebono Brake pads

Had the same shit on my 2016 Legacy - brake pads and rotors every 20-25k. The stealership blamed ME for it, claiming I must "ride my brakes a lot." The first one happened ~22k miles from brand new, and the warranty covered it. They told me the replacement at 45k would be on me for nearly $1500. I had my local shop put in third-party rotors and OEM Akebonos (the same brand Subaru uses) at that 45k (around five years ago) and just had them changed ~97k. The shop that put them in were amazed I'd ridden on five year old pads and rotors. The third-party rotors were still serviceable, and not having to worry about either until ~150k was worth a little more to me. So no, you're not the only one who is suspicious that Subaru's OEM rotors suck.

Pros: long lasting third-party rotors
Cons: early wear, expensive OEM
Mileage: 97000 km

OEM Subaru Windshield

We have had to replace our 2017 legacy 2 times and the first time they used a 3rd party windshield and it would not calibrate. They had me call SoA and I was told that they have to use OEM windshields.

Pros: OEM windshield calibrated
Cons: 3rd party not calibrate
Vehicle: Subaru Legacy
