Foos Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 How about lowering a manual outback? Will that essentially give me different looking LGT wagon with a manual trans? I will either buy out my 04 v70r or pick up a subie. What say ye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesA Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Several people here have lowered their Outback wagons. You should know there are some differences (speaking of '05 models, so things may have changed). So, while you might be perfectly happy with the result, it won't be exactly the same as the LGT. Outback suspension is mounted on spacers, that plus the wheels and tires is where the extra height comes from. LGT springs and shocks are firmer than the OB. LGT has somewhat larger brakes than the OB. LGT has slightly faster steering ratio than the OB. There should be more info in the archives on this.

Atroz Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Expensive, but you could buy Canadian. We still have the MT here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As mentioned above not easy to get 100% like LGT suspension geometery due to subframe spacers and different rear links. In fact, in has not been verified if it's at all possible - rear subframe spacer is removable, not sure about the front. Your best bet is a used 05 wagon. In any case please let SOA know about your dissatisfaction. Check my signature for more info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATB Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 I just flew down to FL to pick up a lightly used '05 wagon since someone here beat me to the one in Edison I plan to inform Samir by email with the VIN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha! I was very close to pull the trigger on the one in Edision. Had 1st dibs But decided against black, plus we really plan on getting another car next spring. Btw, what did you get and for how much?

John M Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Anyone with a taupe interior knows there's no way that's a flood car -- it'd never get that clean again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATB Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Got an OBP with black interior for 22.4. Less of a great deal considering the shipping cost, but worth it. I was 100% against a taupe interior and wanted a LTD, so there are very slim pickings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
