Dujo Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Never mind the banjo filter and the uppipe cat. Those are turbo problems. Assuming you got the Outback height because you wanted Outback height, skip lowering springs. Sways and bushings will firm up your suspension. Pretty sure you don't have LGT calipers and rotors. Those would be an upgrade for you. Pads and rotors for the brakes. Where do you live? Snow? Best mod you can make is better tires. Get snow tires on steelies or put snows on the stock wheels and get a sexy wheel with summer tires and run seasonal sets. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks a lot for the tips! I am living in colorado for now, so snow tires are a must. As far as the motor goes, its pretty quick as it is. Just a bit of fine tubing needs to be done.

Dujo Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 If you run separate summers and winters, make sure you get the snow tires on before the snow comes. Summer tires are great in the dry and wet, but they are absolutely unsafe in the snow and ice ... to the tune of about doubling the stopping distance over an all-season tire.

Max Capacity Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 If your new to this driving thing, I had summer only's on, we had a dusting of snow, the car backed down the driveway ok and onto the street. When I let the clutch out in 1st gear the car slide sideways down the crown of the road. I managed to get it back in the driveway, parked it and took the chevy suburban. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD).
