mkimister2 Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 I finally got some free outback springs and struts from friend and put them on my legacy. the fronts went it fine but the backs needed modification. here are the pics, just painted it black...let me know what you think. can figure out how to paste link in? so heres the gallery http://photobucket.com/albums/v418/dviperlev8/subie%20lift/ edit: I have about 8.5" of ground clearance in the front and just about 10 in the back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subeman90 Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 very nice ride indeed! did you make the bumper guard yourself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkimister2 Posted February 8, 2006 Author Share Posted February 8, 2006 yeah i made the bumper gaurd myself...I work in a metal shop and had some free time(and metal) on my hands. Its pretty strong and should prevent damage from brush and other things i might encounter off roading. I need to add a little more support to it then it will be finished. i am thinking if just redoing the whole bumper as metal though... thanks for the comments everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike W Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 So how do you like the ride with the Outback springs? Is it kinda stiff in a harsh way, or just a bit more firm? The car looks good in that flat black. And it's good to see a fresh design in a brush guard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkimister2 Posted February 8, 2006 Author Share Posted February 8, 2006 the ride has improved, not too stiff at all ( a little firmer). My old struts were on there way out, but these seem to be perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike W Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Thanks, I appreciate the info. I might be changing to the OB springs when I get some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
