Going a little off topic now... Got new wheels on the outback because the stock wheels look just horrible. Sent from my VS996 using Tapatalk -

Just picked up my next project 2020 outback touring xt. The 2.4 turbo is pretty smooth. I'll have to accept the CVT. Sent from my VS996 using Tapatalk -

Some additional updates, install the rest of the cusco bits (LCA, LCA brace) I think this is as far as I will take the build. Sent from my VS996 using Tapatalk -
A different direction - Lifting a GT
rpmk104 replied to hectorbuddy's topic in Fifth Generation Legacy (2010 - 2014 )
Hi, the cusco struts are much stiffer than stock (and kyb GR2). They are 40 way adjustable and setting them all the way stiff is just back breaking stiff (handles amazing). I usually run them between 5-10 clicks from full soft. The rallitek overload springs and the cusco struts are a good match and gives a sporty ride (handles way better than stock even with the lift). There is good suspension travel without any unwanted bounce or sway. I pretty much just plow through anything. -

Don't forget to checkout rallitek. They offer lift springs and other bolt on lift options for the outback which are a direct fit for our legacy. I installed a set of their uprated outback springs with cusco struts and the ride is very good. https://www.rallitek.com/750-assembled-strut-kits Below are some updated pics of how my car sits now. Also added a bunch of cusco bits... Sent from my VS996 using Tapatalk -

I finished the job. Didn't need the subaru ball joint puller after all, the ball joint came off from the spindle pretty easily. Definitely needed the ball joint separate tool. Took around an hour to do. Ball joint was totally shot. Also took advantage of the time to install all my cusco bits. Sent from my VS996 using Tapatalk

Just a quick comparison of the outback kyb gr2 strut vs the cusco touring a struts. Spring perch height is identical. The physical shock body of the cusco strut is shorter than the gr2 strut Interestingly, the cusco strut seems to have a half inch more stroke. Cusco struts are made by kyb in Japan.

Just installed a new shift boot and weighted knob. Combined with the perrin shift bushing, awesome feel. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160402/df9fa3110c930feb5d9e953c75dcba9a.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160402/7474a8cf6b8f4bc8b9883058afedc6ee.jpg Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk -

I have more goodies to install. Got my hands on the whiteline camber/caster adjustable top hats. I've also installed the energy suspension transmission crossmember bushings. Replaces the oem rubber bushings.

So I installed the perrin rear subframe lock down kit and the rear differential lock down kit (both for the wrx) fits perfectly. By far the best upgrade so far. The rear suspension is just so solid over every bump. I estimate the stock rear subframe bushings allow at least half and inch of up and down movement. The subframe lock down kit completely remove this dead space. Also feel a much better power transfer to the rear wheels with the diff lock down kit. No more drivetrain excess movement during wot. Car feels more powerful and much better response to throttle. I also had a strange shimmy between 55-75mph that comes and goes ever since I lifted the car. I can confidently say that the rear subframe lock down kit has eliminated this shimmy completely. Total cost is around $250 and about a two hour to install both. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk
