deanaaron02 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Just recently bought a 2002 Outback Sport. I need to replace the rear suspension and figured, why not just do it all at once. I want to put coilovers on and lower it a bit. Anu suggestions on what will fit? (I know... Its a NOOB question!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carfreak85 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Anything that fits a WRX wagon of similar vintage will fit your car. Coilovers generally don't ride very well and the ones that most folks can afford wear out very quickly and have awful dampening curves. I would recommend FEAL struts with take-off STI springs if you just want to lower it slightly, RCE Black springs for a little lower stance.

1 Lucky Texan Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 (edited) while you're back there, check the diff mount bushings. not long after I bought it, I had Subaru SPT 'Pinks' put on my WRX. About 3/4" lower and about twice as stiff as stock I think. Dunno if anything like that is still available....

carfreak85 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 SPT pinks are just USDM STI springs painted pink, IIRC. JDM STI-catalog pink springs are a whole 'nother beast. I've got a set on my WRX that I bought from Gary Sheehan and they are lower yet and STIFF (but the stance is great!). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
