i know on the site it says they would fit, but i have spoken to a few dealers and they have told me that Bilsteins do not make any coilovers for this model car..

any help would be great!!

Why would you ask a dealer.. They only know about OEM parts to suit Subaru's (even then they still stuff up alot)
I am pretty certain there are no OEM Coilovers for our Libs.. So Subaru will be no help.

If the site says they fit BL/BP Liberty/Legacy then yes they will fit.

By the way... What sort of driving do you do in your car? Lots of track work I'm assuming?

sorry maybe i worded that wrong, when i said dealers i didnt mean subaru dealers i meant suspension dealers e.g wholesale suspension in penrith...

and i wouldnt say lots of track work but minimum - occasional.. but i would say more of a weekend warrior myself...

i have also looked into Ohlins coil overs

Try and speak to a Bilstein dealer/specialist….. Hesemans in Sydney are a good start.

Last time I spoke to them in 09, there were no liberty versions out.

I think if you're going to spend 4k+ on a set of pss9's, you would be far better off speaking to DMS and having a set of 40mm's made to suit. It would be near identical to their GR impreza models.
Or go through a dealer of their product who could liase with you. Greg from GSL or Robin from PerFourmance Motorsport come to mind. For roughly the same price you would get something completely unique, aussie made, rebuildable and guaranteed to be excellent to suit your exact needs.

The ohlins are excellent too, cant go wrong really between those big brands with the 'higher' range gear for road cars. All of them are a step above the 'bolt on' stuff you usually buy.
