Danteneon Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I spy OBK bump stops and upper control arms. I like to cook my pets and my family. Use commas. Don't be a psycho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rester5350 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I spy OBK bump stops and upper control arms. I would find some lgt ucas fast. They made a world of difference on my car. I used Spec B arms and had to grind the knuckle down a little to make them work. Pretty sure you wont have to do that with the lgt arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rester5350 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I will have to see if I have any pics. There is a ridge down the center of the arm from front to back. I bought them from a guy that raced spec b's and sti's so maybe they were from an sti? Are you using the WL camber bushing? I am around -2 deg in the rear.

Danteneon Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Nope, no camber bushings. Just the SpecB struts, and springs (LGT wagon in rear) and the SpecB upper rear arms. I want to see how the alignment looks and then I will go from there. Is this the line you are talking about? http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t36/danteomni/Car%20Pics/OBK/IMAG0271_zps6e5951d0.jpg I like to cook my pets and my family. Use commas. Don't be a psycho.

SCASEYS Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 so I should get these and new bushings to help? http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/fs-ny-misc-legacy-items-strut-bar-stock-sways-bilstein-205751.html?t=205751&highlight=upper+control+arms I donated to LegacyGT.com which allows me to have this nifty signature.

Danteneon Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 LGT arms will help a lot. The OBK arms are too tall and will hit the bumpstops almost all the time making the rear feel pretty bad from what I've read. http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t36/danteomni/Car%20Pics/OBK/IMAG0272_zpsdd6139b5.jpg I kept my stock OBK bumpstops and I have no complaints. I have a new set of SpecB stops just in case though. Ugg...I really need to finish my brake upgrade. I like to cook my pets and my family. Use commas. Don't be a psycho.

Rester5350 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Yes Sir, they are the same. I am running the Koni/Epic setup with the WL bushings. Maybe the moar lower was the difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danteneon Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Could very well be, yeah. Sorry for the threadjack OP I like to cook my pets and my family. Use commas. Don't be a psycho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rester5350 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 so I should get these and new bushings to help? ^^^^^^^ Yes that's what you want. You might want to look into the front lower arm also. The lower arm has the eccentric bolt that adjust toe and they have a tendency to seize. I had to replace mine for alignment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evo2Subi Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 The whip looks great sir! I too just got an outback coming from an Evo 9...anyways..I really hate the way it handles and its height. My first mod will be to lower mine too. Just to sum up what you did, Legacy SpecB front struts and GTW Bilsteins in the rear with tein H-Techs? Also are you riding on the stock bump stops?

I Donated bucko3the7man Posted June 20, 2013 I Donated Share Posted June 20, 2013 I put the whiteline kit in to dial BACK the camber in the rear after my koni/epic install.

Danteneon Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 so the fact I put sedan springs on the wagon doesn't have anything to do with the bouncy ride? looks great, but rides "springy" I wouldn't think so. The wagon springs are made for the extra weight, wereas the sedan springs should feel "softer". OE spec speaking of course. The shocks could be worn out. That will give you a springy ride no matter what springs you have on there. I like to cook my pets and my family. Use commas. Don't be a psycho.

WaspGT Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 The shocks you installed were pretty used and Tim said a couple of them were leaking. Weren't two of them Bilstein? Have them rebuilt; eliminate the bounce, before your wife kills you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
