Re: Outback lift question
All this has been answered many many times before. Expect ~2", axles are axles, they blow, but more often the boots tear. Best get busy living.

Re: Outback lift question
Do it all at once, unless you want that really raked, raised 2" in the rear, look and feel. Any wagon spec spring is usually stiffer than a sedan, but there is always something to be said for "run what you got". There is no way to 'rate' a spring by just looking at it, too many variab...

Re: Outback lift question
Yup, get the kyb gr2's for a 96-99 outback all the way around, use your springs, bump stops, boots, top hats... For the saggy butt you want to find a set of rear springs at a junkyard from a lego wagon, or outback, anything from 93-99 should work(just not the rear taperd springs from an early lego),...

Re: Outback lift question
with outback struts and cut rear fenders 215/60/16's are decent, you can go to 225/60/16, but first gear is really tall and your mpg goes down a good bit. I have an old set of 28X9.5X14 wildcats on a lego too.

Re: Outback lift question
OK, but mine, and a lot of others, done by a very, very good welder, are working really well. How do they weld them from the factory? Do they pressurize them after the collars are welded on somehow? They are filled with inert gas(nitrogen), if you puncture them they pop, and leak out becoming worthl...

Re: Outback lift question
03 outback rims, same set actually, also have a set of 16" enkies I like, but anything in 15" will give you more tire options for cheeper without having to butcher your rear fenders. 5X100mm can be found on more than a few cars. Also bigger tires changes the gear ratio's and results in MPG...

Re: Outback lift question
Side by side outback, forester and leggy springs are nearly identical in height. The Outback strut has about 1.5" more stroke, but the perch to top hat length is very similar to a leggy, it effectively gives you more travel, and a taller ride height making the car much more capable than before,...

Re: Outback lift question
Use whatever springs and top hats you already have with kyb gr2's, or put new stuff in. If you can hear the strut top/coil banging around then the top hat is finished If you want to use non-tapered coils from something else in the rear then the '92+ leggy rear top hats will work. I've also slotted t...
