  1. Wow, that’s a rare car! Looks like it’s in beautiful condition. As for cars I’ve been looking at, there just isn’t anything out there worth replacing my wagon. New or used.

     

    Richard, it’s good to see you on here. Hope you are well!

    Hard to believe we were both diagnosed with cancer 30 days apart, but Mrs. Gadget and I are both doing well, thank you.

  2. Hello strangers, I miss you. And I still miss my LGT wagon.

     

    As you may know, I totaled the car almost 3 years ago and just discovered a couple extra wheels and some miscellaneous parts in a box that was labeled with my daughter's name. I know this isn't the classified forum, but I am hoping to sell the following items locally:

     

    2 OEM LGT wheels. Both are used, but both of them are in excellent shape. One of the wheels has a small chip

     

    Set of OEM sway bar end links - missing 2 nuts, but you can use the nuts from yours

     

    LGT and Outback badges

     

    24 OEM acorn lug nuts - perfect for winter

     

    Grill clips, pop-its and a couple bolts for mounting the front seats

     

    If there is anything you are interested in, please send me a PM with your email address and I'll send you photos.

     

    I hope you are all well, cheers!

  3. Remember every one of these dampers is different. 1-1/4 on the left may not be the same as 1-1/4 on the right even.

    For that very reason I gave some consideration to finding a shop with a shock dyno and then I decided this car is my DD grocery getter. So, right or wrong, I'm taking a leap of faith thinking the settings side-to-side and front-to-back will be close enough.

     

    Fingers crossed.

  4. Keep in mind that sometimes making the shocks stiffer can make the ride more comfortable. I found my Koni/Epic setup (the one I installed when I wrote this walkthrough) was more comfortable slightly above the 1-turn position. IIRC it was ~1 and 1/4 turn from full soft but I'd have to search back through my posts.

     

    I had to do some searching, stalking and thread reading to find what I was looking for; but, according to posts #522 and #552 you seemed to prefer 1-1/4F & 1-1/2R.

     

    Now the question is, will the 1-1/4F & 1-1/2R settings work on my wagon? I guess we'll find out, because I think that is where I'm going to start.

  5. Hi, haven't seen you around the forum much. It's getting to be that time of the year again.

     

    Hint, you may want to set the rears in the middle of the firmness setting. I did one turn off of full hard and have been thinking about going softer.

    Hi Max!

     

    I've been spending more time in the Mountain West Regional Forum, but I don't login daily by any means. It is about that time of year and I can't wait. I'm thinning the quiver and selling 8 pairs of skis, let me know if you want something. ;)

     

    I was thinking about dialing up the firmness on the rear struts, especially since they are not easily accessible. If you're backing off from the middle of the adjustment range, where would you suggest I start?

  6. You're making me wish I'd at least painted my front housings! I'll be curious to hear how they ride!
    I was able to get some free donor struts from the dealer and had them powder coated. I like the way the whole package looks and I'm confident it will improve the ride dramatically considering the struts coming off the car have 150K miles on them.

     

     

    I also want to thank Fred Bean for this walk-through.
