Surfed the forums for a while making sure everything would work-here's the finished product. Swapped in OB springs & stuts & some stock OB wheels & tires on my 02 Legacy 5 sp.
We'll see how everything holds up long term-I'll report on any issues. Right now it looks like I may need to swap in the rear OB sway bar too-it's at kind of a funky angle. Any body else that has done this swap experience any funky issues?

The links? I'll have to track those down.
As for the handling...it's never going to be the go cart it was. I think it was 5" off the ground before! But, the utility & snoworthieness will be fun to test! Had her out on some logging roads today the added clearance was awesome, & it seemed to soak up the bumps nicely.
Looks like I may need to change my spare too. It's a 135/70/16, the OB has 135/80/16 on it. Would driving on a short term/emergency situation on the current spare be a terrible idea, or should I look for the new size pronto?
Anybody know what I could get for the 4 steel 15" wheels w/decent tires?
