I googled NSF9801 and had hits in Japan & "ru" (Romania?)...nothing in US.

".ru" is Russia, biggest country in the world..

In the eastern part of russia they drive mostly cars imported from Japan, as it's closer/easier. Hence most of the cars there ar RHD and japanese specs (believe it or not).

Don't buy the GR-2s if you're looking for an improvement in handling. I currently have them on my OBXT and they made very little difference - i think the alignment and replacement bushings i installed at the same time made a bigger difference.

well I've ordered them already.. but the price is quite OK even if it's minor upgrade. Which bushings have you changed, maybe I can replace them as well? any part #?

By the way I've put rear stabilizer from EU cars (~17mm), there is quite a bit of difference on cornering and crosswinds (much better!)

not sure that's the right topic, but I've asked KYB tech-support about the stiffness of their Excel/GR-2 shocks, and the answer is

"# 341443 (USA market) will be firmer than the original unit by approx 10-15%"

did anyone actually tried those (or we assume they're crap and we should 100% go for the Billsteins)?

by the way I've also asked them about their model for EU market, the answer is ~

" there are enough differences that I would not use one to replace the other.# 341354 (EU) is shorter in all key measurements."

cheers,

Hi

does anybody guys know whether the EU-OEM suspension is compatible with the USDM Outbacks?

e.g. what about an EU OEM kit - should be cheaper than the import from Japan. But will it work?
