OEM comfort when you want it. Sport performance when you don't.
Upgrade your factory suspension with vehicle-specific, 10-way adjustable Street Runner Shocks. Designed to work with OEM springs and top mounts or your favorite lowering springs, they provide sharper handling and improved ride control without converting to coilovers.
Dežru Street Runner Shocks for 2015-2019 Subaru Legacy
The Dežru Street Runner Shocks are engineered specifically for the 2015-2019 Subaru Legacy, delivering modern adjustable damping, improved body control, and sharper handling while maintaining the comfort and refinement expected from Subaru's midsize sedan.
Whether you're replacing worn factory shocks, restoring the confidence of a high-mileage Legacy, pairing upgraded dampers with lowering springs, or competing in a motorsport class that requires an OEM-style suspension configuration, the Street Runner provides a noticeable improvement in chassis performance without the complexity or maintenance of coilovers.
Each kit includes two front and two rear vehicle-specific dampers only. Springs and top mounts are not included. The dampers are designed as direct replacements for the factory shocks and reuse the OEM springs and upper mounts, preserving factory suspension geometry and ride height when installed with stock components.
For owners seeking a more aggressive stance, the Street Runner Shocks are also compatible with most aftermarket lowering springs. Depending on the spring selected, most applications will achieve approximately 25-35 mm of ride height reduction.
Unlike fixed factory dampers, the Street Runner features 10-way adjustable damping, allowing you to customize ride quality and chassis response for comfortable commuting, long highway trips, spirited backroad driving, or weekend autocross events.
- Setting 1 provides the softest damping for maximum ride comfort and touring.
- Setting 5 closely replicates the feel of a new factory suspension with improved body control.
- Setting 10 delivers firmer damping for sharper handling, quicker steering response, and reduced chassis movement during aggressive driving.
The intermediate settings allow you to fine tune suspension performance based on tire choice, spring selection, road conditions, and personal preference.

OEM Springs and Factory Ride Height
When installed with the factory Subaru springs and top mounts, the Street Runner Shocks retain the Legacy's original ride height while dramatically improving damping performance compared to worn factory dampers.
This configuration is ideal for drivers who appreciate the Legacy's factory comfort but want more precise handling, improved chassis stability, and the flexibility of adjustable damping.
At softer settings, the suspension remains comfortable and compliant for daily driving. Increasing damping firmness progressively tightens the chassis, improving steering response and reducing unnecessary body movement without compromising everyday usability.
Lowering Spring Compatibility
The Street Runner Shocks are fully compatible with most quality lowering springs designed for the 2015-2019 Subaru Legacy.
Most lowering spring combinations provide approximately 25-35 mm of ride height reduction, creating a lower center of gravity and improved cornering stability while maintaining excellent street manners.
Unlike many basic replacement shocks, the Street Runner has been engineered to properly control both factory and moderately increased spring rates, making it an ideal companion for quality lowering springs.
The result is a Legacy with improved stance, sharper handling, and excellent ride quality without requiring the added maintenance or adjustment of a full coilover suspension.
Performance Character
The sixth-generation Legacy emphasizes refinement, ride quality, and everyday comfort. The Street Runner builds on those strengths by adding significantly improved body control and driver confidence without sacrificing the smooth ride expected from a modern Subaru.
Drivers will notice reduced body roll through corners, improved braking stability, less chassis float over uneven pavement, and more precise steering response during both everyday driving and spirited weekend outings.
Whether navigating city streets, cruising on the interstate, or enjoying winding backroads, the adjustable damping allows the suspension to be tailored to match your driving style and road conditions.
The result is a Legacy that feels more composed, more responsive, and more enjoyable to drive while maintaining excellent comfort for daily use.
Why Choose Street Runner Shocks Instead of Coilovers?
Many Legacy owners simply want better suspension performance without giving up factory comfort or adding unnecessary complexity. The Street Runner Shocks provide exactly that by combining OEM-style installation with modern adjustable damping.
For drivers who don't need ride-height adjustment or compete in motorsport classes where coilovers are prohibited, the Street Runner delivers an ideal balance between comfort, handling, reliability, and simplicity.
You retain the factory spring arrangement while gaining the ability to tune suspension response for everything from comfortable commuting to spirited driving.
