fastgascar Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 Can we raise the ride height of the '05 Legacy to the same level as the Outback? What would I need to do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGT Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 swap your suspension and lifting blocks with an XT owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastgascar Posted February 18, 2005 Author Share Posted February 18, 2005 I am going to keep all the OEM parts, so that I go back and forth. Maybe I can pick up all the parts @ a wrecking yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGT Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 If you check out the 'apexjapan' thread for the 20mm Rear Sway Group Buy, there are pics of the parts that make the OB different. I think it is essentially different offset wheels, larger tires, smaller sway bars, different springs and struts, and then the lifting/spacer blocks. "Chucktoo" lowered his OB so might be willing to sell the old parts. Good luck. -Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agctr Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 Hmm I have NO idea why anyone would want to do this but hey, if its yr thing go for it but remember that because yr weight is up higher, u are changing the whole characteristics of the GT. Please also note that this may VOID yr Warranty. Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastgascar Posted February 19, 2005 Author Share Posted February 19, 2005 1. for ground clearance 2. you could get bigger tires on the car 3. Subaru doesn't offer a sedan outback with the 2.5 turbo engine w/manual trans 4. Legacy has bigger brakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agctr Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 Hmmm still fuzzy on the whole, why do u want to raise the GT ? Sorry, if this seems rude, not intending to be at all, just curious as Im sure others are as well. Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastgascar Posted February 19, 2005 Author Share Posted February 19, 2005 My main thought is when the weather is bad, I would be higher up and would not have to worry about debris. Also when out and about, I could park on top of the curbs to provide more space between myself and the car next to me, to help prevent unwanted door dings. example http://www.f150online.com/galleries/pictureview.cfm?pnum=55567&anum=3776 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c-lo Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 It would be interesting to see what it would look like, although it still does sound silly. Too bad they stopped making the outback sedan. 258k miles - Stock engine/minor suspension upgrades/original shocks/rear struts replaced at 222k/4 passenger side wheel bearings/3 clutches/1 radiator/3 turbos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBT Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 It would be interesting to see what it would look like, although it still does sound silly. Too bad they stopped making the outback sedan. Did I miss something - as far as I know the Outack Sedan has been made since at least 1999 and this year they call it the 3.0R. It's still sitting on the Outback's raised suspension and wheels/tires. I just don't think they used as much body cladding on the sides. H6 and 5EAT = reasonable power and smooth shifting.
