2009 Liberty B4 Spec B suspension on to Standard B4 car

Postby steventhechef » Mon May 18, 2020 12:04 pm

Hi and thanks in advance.

My son has bent the front strut on his 2009 Subaru Liberty sedan. I am looking to replace it and have a set of same model B4 GT Spec B Bilsteins in the shed.

Would these be a direct fit onto his standard Subaru with his standard wheels? I know that it will lower these suspension by about 25 to 30 mil and I'm not sure if the standard tyres will fit.

Can any of my learnered colleagues enlighten me please?

Thanks in advance

OK.... Just a quick update.

I fitted the suspension (4 corners) this afternoon. Easy removal and install. The bent one was the hardest and the others took maybe 20 minutes a corner - a little less for the rears. The standard tyres and rims fit easily with no noticeable rubbing but that was just down the driveway (400 metres). I will take it for an alignment on Monday and only drive it there at this stage.

I'll report back then. :) So far so good
