l assume u r asking mod wise. Well it sort of depends on what u want out of the car. If it was me, l would start with a set of good springs & some stiffer sway bares to tighten up the handling. Then l would get a short shifter & front & rear shifter bushings. l have them on my WRX & they r amazing. Then u might have different power goals than me but l would keep it simple. The car probably has good power all ready so l might get a Cobb Access Port to re flash the computer & that will bump up the power a little & make the power come on more smoothly. If u wanted a little more, u could get an after market down pipe & re flash it with a stage two map. This will bump power a goo 40hp & even more torque but l do not know if l would go that far. Check out legacygt.com to see what other Spec-B drivers r doing to theur cars.

The Spec B package did not add any power to the Legacy GT & except for the Bilstein shocks, l do not think the suspension components r any different. The Spec B is essentially just a combination of luxury/appearance add-ons to upmarket the GT to compete with the likes of the Lexus IS-250, BMW 3, Audi A4, Nissan G37, etc. The AWD at $33,000 sets it apart from the others.

That said, my complaint with any turbocharged Subarus is throttle lag, with weak response below 3,000 rpm. You've got no problem once the turbo spools up. The only changes I'd consider would be to remap the ECU to bring the torque peak down to the 1,500-2,000 rpm range, & probably add a KN air intake. Might add a little oomph with freer breathing, but also add a little rumble that is muffled by the stock filter. A cat-back exhaust would give u the real rumble, but why bother on a new car.

Otherwise, just a fine car to drive.
