At this point in time, I'm not sure that anything could be much worse than the suspension that is on there right now ... however, I completely agree that there may be an issue with the dynamic camber. OTOH, I think that by lowering it only an inch or so, I'll probably be in good shape. What I'm a little more concerned about is the dynamic toe in the rear, which is already a known issue. I'd _love_ to do the full Legacy suspension conversion, but that involves sourcing the rear lateral links and other parts that I'm not sure where to get. I talked briefly with the local junkyard and they said that they don't stock those. That, combined with not having a good, comprehensive list of parts, has left me a little concerned about doing the full conversion correctly. While I'm not in love with the idea of junkyard shocks, it at least gives me a starting point for the suspension... if it's better than current and will align alright and not cause any dynamic stability issues, than I'll go with it. From that point, I have my choice of aftermarket shocks in the future... unlike the Outback, where I'm stuck with either Monroe or KYB.

I'm amongst those very interested in a suspension upgrade for the OBXT... but $1700 is a pretty high price to pay for that. Being especially cost conscious, I'm wondering, ride height aside, why folks don't just grab a junkyard legacy suspension and toss that on along with a stiffened rear sway. Am I missing something there? I'd love to know, as I'm planning this change myself.
