  1. I also modified my Koni shock body to give me a 2 inch height adjustment at the rear suspension. to prevent saggy butt.... Might be helpful http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/koni-adjustable-yellows-installed-2007-outback-3-0r-193233.html?t=193233
  2. My personal EDM OB has JDM Spec B aluminum suspension plus 1.5 inch suspension drop and I have no problem (no cutting on stock OB rubber bump stop)
  3. On JDM/EDM versions, swapping out the OB upper suspension arm (cast steel unit) with legacy version will automatically give you more travel since the Legacy version is less "chunky" So I assume the USDM is also similar.
  4. Great write up!! I have installed JDM S402 Aluminum Upper Control Arm & Trailing arm on my 07 OB 3.0R without problem. They are 7-8lbs lighter on each side than stock arms. FYR
  5. You are correct!! I have tried to install stock Legacy struts and springs on my Outback and the result: The springs are pretty much the same length when compared side by side The strut body is longer When installed: Front: it dropped my front end about 2inches (1 finger gap left in front) Rear: It does fit my stock rear top hats for KYB self-leveling struts and springs..... The stock top hat is matched to the smaller diameter springs designed for the self-leveling struts Result: I have to re-install everything back and have my car re-aligned again..... $100 bux down the drain
  6. Euro Outback 3.0R has KYB rear self-leveling struts and dedicated springs Bilstein BTS kit for Outback "DOES NOT" reduce ride height (maybe a little, as USDM Outback sits a little higher than EDM Outbacks), you need to buy Bilstein BTS kit for BP5 Legacy for 15mm drop from JDM/EDM Legacy ride height.
  7. #1) Bridgestone Potenza RE050A 225-45-19 at 10K miles #2) Taipei, Taiwan (roads here suck!!!) #3) Commute Only #4) 30 highway / 70 city #5) Yokohama G900 215-55-17 (stock rubber on Outback 3.0R) #6) Out of 10: Dry 8.5 , wet 9, and snow N/A, Very comfortable for UHP tire, quiet too, except on certain road surfaces of the highway.
