Heffernan Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Looks great. Did you go with Outback or LGT springs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhitter Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 looks great. Looking forward to seeing pictures of the rims on. Those pictures sort of what me take take my spacers out and drop my Outback lower.... My OBXT build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heffernan Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Legacy GT on all four, 1/2" spacers in rear Nice. Definitely looks a little lower then my OEM LGT struts/springs take-offs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelvrick Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Very nice. What are you planning on doing next? Maybe blacking/clearing the headlights? My Outback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miatabear Posted April 28, 2015 Author Share Posted April 28, 2015 Yeah, I already have some smoke film to put on the tail lights and yellow vinyl to put on the fog lights. I still have a whiteline 20mm swaybar and some endlinks to install. Next would be spark plugs, air filter, whiteline tie rods, and maybe more tinting on the windows.

funkycharms Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 any updates? did you have any rubbing issues with stock wheel, or get any with the aftermarket setup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miatabear Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share Posted October 2, 2015 Hi funkycharms, Sorry, I didn't post here cause I didn't think anyone would be interested to keep up with my installs lol. I posted here though: http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/did-you-do-your-outback-todayi-220351p73.html Stock set-up: no rub Aftermarket: 18x8.5 with 245/40/18 rubs in the rear inner fender when hitting large bumps. I probably shaved off the plastic so it wont rub anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funkycharms Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Almost a year later, I finally have all of the parts needed to do the swap sitting in my garage! The plan is to build the shock setup before the weekend, and install saturday on my birthday. New suspension setup would be a great present. Im going to pickup a pipe cutter from home depot on my way home from work - Looks like this is the one you used? http://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-Quick-Release-2-1-8-in-Tube-Cutter-80-773-111/204258905 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aktyler Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 can you accomplish the same drop using koni inserts into the stock outback struts or do you need to get legacy gt struts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miatabear Posted December 8, 2017 Author Share Posted December 8, 2017 No, outback struts are longer so the koni inserts won’t reach the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VOC4L Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 This drop looks killer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
