Bilstein makes some terrific shocks — good enough that the Legacy Spec B is based on the superior Bilstein product. (The “B” stands for Bilstein!) Now you too can enjoy the excellent ride/handling characteristics of Bilstein on your 2005-2009 Legacy GT. Use them to replace your aging stock struts (2.5i, GT or Spec B), and/or to pair with firmer lowering springs.
Because a few people have asked, these struts are categorized as “B6” which in Bilstein-speak means it’s a performance upgrade from a stock strut, but intended for use with stock-height springs. The B6 can be used with lowering springs, but it is not optimized for that.
Set of four struts. The rears have ride-height adjustable perches.
Note that you’ll want Spec B top hats for the front struts, if your car is not a Spec B.
Another note: Recently we have seen reports that the ride height with these struts is too tall with standard Legacy GT springs, even lowering springs. The solution may be to pair these with Spec B OEM coil springs, but we have not verified this yet.
Fits all 2005-2009 Legacy GT, sedan and wagon. (Non-turbo Legacy models, too.)
