Have you bottomed out on the front with the rest springs?

Not even once. I'm really happy with the spring setup now. Got some better stance and the ride quality is still very good.
I still need to install my RSB to reduce the body roll a bit though.

awesome. Well Im going to get mine reset next week and fitted the week after. Thinking of going 20mm instead. I only have the turbo 4cyl motor still and want to ensure good clearance for the front lip over crossovers and speed humps.

I went 25mm just to match how much the back had sagged. Matches almost 100% now.
Even that is still not nearly as low the RSR springs I had in there. You should have good clearance with 20mm. More that you have with your Tein setup I would imagine.

Oh definitely. Don't get me wrong I don't scrub with the Teins but I do bottom out on occasions and it just is not pleasant to experience that. The Teins make the car look amazing and the handling is great, but the mrs has had enough of the bumpty bump and I plan on doing more road trips, so having some comfort back will be a welcome one, but I need the car to look level, hence getting the front springs reset. OEM just didnt look right.

Anyway I think you will be surprised at how good the car feels one you go back to your stock springs. No more bracing yourself for impact every time you see a bump.

Nice! Considering that exhaust set up on my spec b wagon but don't want it noisy or droning in the cabin. Is it ok inside?

The current setup has no drone at all. The Exhaust is pretty quiet under low load but makes a good noise when you give some gas

Just found a pic of my last Legacy that I had from 2008 to 2010
MY00 JDM GTB
It was pretty much immaculate but had to sell it when we bought a house so that we had enough deposit

I was very close to buying a grey import of one of those a while back. Loved the look of them. Just didnt have the coin for it then
