Back pain from seats
Danteneon replied to glickster89's topic in Fourth Generation Legacy (2005 - 2009)
I was a bit concerned when I got my Outback 2 years ago that the seats were going to be a problem for my back. I'm 45 and have a less than stellar back (not enough core work, too much time spent bent under hoods). I was used to the SRT-4 seats in my Neon which are pretty damn comfy for aggressively bolstered seats. But I have to say, even for longs trips (2-4 hours at a time), they haven't given me any problems. Maybe the 2008 seats are better made? TLDR: Mine are fine for my old back -

Just in case you are serious...at the top of each thread page, there is a "thread tools" drop-down button, the subscribe link is there. Great write-up here. Thank you so much for putting the time in to make this walk-through! -
Very good choice on the KWs. I had them on my ACR and they were amazing. Height looks perfect too.

I have the upper arms in mine, and I have all the rest sitting in my garage waiting to go in. I plan to assemble the rear arms with new bearings and the STI backing plates I have before mounting them, but removal and install seems pretty straight forward. That is the one piece I don't have. Are you looking to sell it, or didn't you get it?

While it is a leak in your exhaust, it is located at the back of the system. It will not effect O2 sensors, so no change to MPG there. This mod is to give you a performance exhaust sound without the expense. Some folks claim a slight smell of exhaust in the car, but I'm not one of them. Lastly, if you have yearly safety inspections where you live, you will want to reverse this mod before going in since it is after all an exhaust leak. I've had mine done for a year now and I still love it

Safer? Maybe. But I want to see if the slight difference in subframe heights really makes a difference. the only thing that changes in the way I did my setup is the driveshaft angle, and if it doesn't present a long term problem it may give us more options when lowering these cars. Then again, I could just be crazy

In the rear, I did the specB uppers (along with the specB shocks and LGT wagon springs of course) only. Everything else, including the jounce bumpers, is stock OBK. The front is all specB and spacers removed. I am trying an experiment though...I have removed the subframe spacers in the front only. I know, I know..."your sh*t is going to blow!" I don't think it will have any real effect on the drivetrain, but I'm willing to risk it and see what happens on the long haul. By keeping the spacers in the rear, I don't have the pronounced saggy butt others do when using specB front upper strut mounts.

Looks right to me. There isn't a lot of thread hanging out beyond the nut. -
