SnailD Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 I've been looking to upgrade my saggy legacy suspension and do the classic outback conversion. That being said, i need new springs, and the only place i seem to find them is direct from subaru. They want more than the aftermarket Swift springs i bought for my 2010 mazdaspeed3. Anyone have any good places to pick a set up? or brands that make them? Or am i stuck paying subaru 300+ dollars for a set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setnev Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Moog 81592 and 81595. They're for a Forester but they'll work. RockAuto has them for $75 a pair for the front and $58 a pair for the back. If you're doing an Outback suspension upgrade, Fozzy springs will help with the lift and sag in the ass end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilesA Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 So, Setnev, are you suggesting the combo of Forester springs with Outback struts? Wouldn't he need to change his struts to get the extra height and a different spring perch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SG/SF Forester suspension is almost identical to the BG Outback, so there would be no modification required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Setnev Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 The SF/SG Forester suspension is about an inch taller than the Outback suspension. Here's a pretty comprehensive thread about putting Forester suspension on a Legacy/Outback: http://www.subaruoutback.org/forums/111-gen-1-1995-1999/17450-using-forester-springs-struts-shocks-lift-1st-gen-outbacks.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
