OBXT to LGT

[JD05GT]

I was wanting to buy another LGT. I was looking for the new ride to be a wagon. What gives on not having a manual in the LGT wagon? So the question comes to you guys that know all about the suspension on these awesome machines. Should I just buy an OBXT manual and put different springs on it and debadge it?

 

If so, whats a good suspension setup to get the OBXT back down to handling like the LGT I already have.

Simplest is changing the sway bars & going to a coilover setup. And tires, of course. Downside is you'll lose most all the off-roadability of the OBXT.

There are a few other differences though: I’m sure someone will chime in with everything but the OB brakes are smaller, it has a higher final drive ratio and it has the pimp factor.

Lots of people went with OBXT in order to get 5MT wagon...and then dropped them to proper height.

We offroad ours often.

Upgrades to match, then beat stock LGT handling in order of priority

tires

swaybars

brakepads

coilovers

big wheels and tires

if you're thinking of swapping out your suspension, i think there's another guy posted a couple days before wanting to raise his LGT wagon up as OB height maybe you guys can work something out

Thanks for the input. Dont really care about off road capablilty, cause what i'm really looking for is a LGT 5mt.
