Thanks for the reply so far, will chack it out and let you know how it worked out. rally on

Well I moved over from audi quattros to suby wagons. I now have a '98 outback wagon with the 2.5 manual trans with 115K miles. So far I love it. I am looking to upgrade the performance and suspension, but am not really sure where to start or what to get. First the suspension, the rear is quite soft and soupy when I have the wagon loaded, and it seems to have, in my opinion, a lot of body roll. So, heavy duty shocks, what kind, and beeffier sway bar, maybe rear stress bar?? Exhaust, muffler? Intake? Chip? It's not the smoothest shifter, it's hard to get in first, and first to second could be smoother. Suggestions? Short shift kit? I just had one wheel bearing in the front replaced at $240. Now I need to do the other one, is it possible to change the bearing myself without having the car in a shop? Thanks for reading and thanks for your advice. Alex
