LosDiosDeVerde86 Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 My Legacy's a 96 with 102000 miles on it. Same shocks. I think it's time for a switch. I'd love to put outback shocks on it for the extra inch or two of ground clearance. Anyone know if 95-98 Legacy Outback (sedan) shocks and springs will fit a 96 Legacy LS (sedan)?

Legacy777 Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 I think if you get the entire spring/strut & strut top mounts, they should fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a 95 legacy L that i swapped for 97-99 outback struts.. its a simple pull 'em of and bolt 'em on deal, instant 2-inch factory lift... it made my stock 185 14s look super-lame!! I was able to easliy fit 205x75 14s in the wheel well on the stock rim, which added another inch... so now my legacy's about 9.5 inches to the rear diff... have fun!

ballitch Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 what about your alignment, did it mess anything up or am i barking up the wrong tree, so to speak, and what about your odo and speedo, not to mention gearing? ~Josh~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My speed's only about 4-5 MPH off. It reads slower now... I lost some power from 5th , especially on hills, but then with the intake and exhaust, it cruises around town like stock tires, or a little faster... I lost some top-end but that's okay since i need to slow down some anyway... -mark- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
