gdcpony Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Ok, I have a few ideas about a swap for my 96 Brighton. I was thinking of some KYB's for an Outback, springs for the same, camber bolts, and 225/60/r16's. Later, I plan to get some better swaybars (possibly Outback as well?), brakes, and then wait till the engine blows (swap that then since I'll have an excuse for the wife). I need to know what parts (years, #'s, ect) to use. I have no idea what inter changes on Legacies and Outbacks, though I know they are basicly the same car. I would rather not mess with body spacers if I can avoid it. Any help out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcupine73 Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Hi, I'm planning to do the outback struts&springs thing on my '96 brighton too; from what I can tell, just order the springs and KYB's for a '96 outback. The strut mount part #'s are the same for both. Could probably just get some of those quick camber bolts from Summit. On parts I'm not sure if they're the same between vehicles I try to find them and compare on subarupartsforyou.com as that's one of the few Subaru dealer sites that actually tells you the part #. I'm not as sure about the sway bars; I'd guess the outback probably would fit as long as the bushings are corret size; there are some aftermarket ones available like from subysolutions.

gdcpony Posted October 23, 2006 Author Share Posted October 23, 2006 Thanks. Any ideas where I can grab a set of springs? I can't seem to find them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcupine73 Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Aftermarket I'm not sure, I think maybe some have gotten them from NAPA. OEM springs are easy to get from any Subaru dealer; I got mine online from subaru-parts-dealer.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdcpony Posted October 24, 2006 Author Share Posted October 24, 2006 OEM is what I am looking for. I'd prefer to get a decent used set ($), but I guess new will have to do since no one is changing theirs out. I had hoped to do it on the cheap. It is a work car after all. The only real upgrade I had planned was KYB's and maybe the swaybars (if I couldn't get a factory set off an OB). Everthing else I hope to make use of OEM parts that my poor Brighton was not given.
