just to add to this thread...ClimberD is in the process of test fitting a 5MT Diff to the 5eat trans. if successful, it will open doors for you 5eat folk to get more traction up front. http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/5eat-front-lsd-fitment-test-134603.html

my bsm obk sdn 3.0R is 1 of 298

^are you sure its thicker? compare it to the front tribecca knuckle which is the same as an 05-10 legacy but has the 5x114.3 hub.

what does this have to do with hub bolt patters?

wow dude! you are getting really creative with is stuff!

IMO you would be better off trying to press apart a 05 lgt front and rear hub/bearing and see if the hub sections are the same. if so, you could trake apart a 08 sti front hub/bearing and press the hub in to the 05 lgt rear beaing. though the 05+ lgt hub/bearings come as a unit, that is just how they are serviced. one should be able to take one apart to mess around with. anyone have a worn out front and rear lgt hub/bearing? they should be pretty common

^correct.

Nevermind about the tribecca. the rear susp is totally different compared to the 05-09 LGT tribecca- http://www.trademotion.com/schematics/mechanical/F739100.gif 05-09 lgt http://www.trademotion.com/schematics/mechanical/F731050.gif they are different. cant use tribecca rear suspension parts.

should be ok as long as the rear knuckle's caliper bracket bolt points are the same as an outback. i dont think anyone has gone this route so you would be the first.

talking about the whole thing/ the rear 08+ imprezza suspension it totally dfferent than the 05-09 rear suspension. 05-09 lgt is a multi link setup while the 08+ imprezza is a dual wishbone setup. nothing is interchangable.

05+ sti stuff wont fit. gotta be 08+ , and even then its only the fronts.

no, only the fronts will fit, not the rears.

the rear susp is different on the 08 sti compared to the 05 LGT so oyu cant use that. instead look at the tribecca rear knuckle. the tribecca uses 5x114.3 hubs but has the same suspension as an 05-09 outback with is the same as the lgt for the most part.

yes. spec b springs are meant for the bilstein struts they come on. prolly alittle stiffer and the fronts are alittle shorter due to the higher bottom spring perch and thickness difference of the front top hats.

oh that really makes me want to upgrade the exhaust on my H6 obk sdn. And dot a 6mt swap as well

this is awsome. the perfect BG for me.

would anyone here post a clip of a 3.0R with a prodrive or cobb or AVO exhaust please? Trying to decide if i want to get the AVO outback cans for my 3.0r sedan.

black lowered 08-09 LGT in the whole foods lot in edgewater NJ last night.

In the Naturally Aspirated Powertrains (2.5i, 3.0R) sub forum title, you should add 3.6R, 2.2i, 2.0i and 1.8i for the other models of older and newer legacys.

its a combination of both the center viscous and front diffs failing. if one fo the front wheels has no traction, then its like one end of the center diff not having traction. the viscous unit cant transfer all the torque to the rear. so the rear wheels did not get enough power to move the car up the hill. a front LSD would prevent situations like this from happening.

caster puts more stress on the strut and less the the rear LCA bushing, if im picturing this right.

yes it was a GT. YOu are prolly right about the canada thing. Im pretty sure that no USDM legacy 2000-2004 got a LSD in the rear.

you are prolly right about this. please verify.
