hmmm.. looks like the height of a legacy! but w/ OB body styling... crazy!! ;)

i guess that's what you get when you put some megan racing coilovers under her :burnout:

so to that i say! Goodbye Body Roll, Goodbye extreme tilting of the car on hard accelerations & braking, and Hello Adjustible Ride Height & Damping!

:banana:

and yes, i did fix the valve stem :-p

looks great, i like it.

 

have you considered painting the rims gun metal? i like that look on my uncles black baja turbo. they also hide brake dust.

The 3.0R wheels ARE painted gunmetal, and they're the same wheels.

yeah, i really like the Beany wheels

i was actually thinking some gram lights... but they're pricy :-p

I thought a Legacy Outback was an actual vehicle/trim model...not two separate vehicles. Either way, it looks awesome!!

you're pretty much right.

The Leg & OB have different hoods, and some different body panels/trim junk

and the OB has a beefier suspension (taller), more rubber around the rims, and smaller brakes :-\

that's about it i think...

oh, and the OB has bigger fog lights....

You're both sorta right.

 

Look at an Outback VIN and it will have a Legacy chassis code in it. It is still technically a Legacy.

 

But only in the BG chassis (96-99) did the Outback get referred to as a Legacy Outback. From 2000-up, Subaru took the Legacy badge off the Outback, and also the sales brochures are separate for Legacy and Outback.

 

I'm actually not sure about the Outback Sport. It too, was originally referred to as an Impreza Outback Sport, but the Impreza badge got taken off at some point too, I'm just not sure when.

Nice lookin' ride. wish I had the money to lower mine. although, lowered really doesn't work off the pavement:-\

Lowering a Sub is just asking to knock a hole in the oil filter or pan!

 

BOOOOOOO!

It's actually a little bit taller than a stock legacy gt ;)

and i dont' take this one offroad, that's what the lifted OBS is for :-p :headbang:

BOOOOOOO!

 

I'd have to disagree...

I sit lower(well my motor does) than my buddy's lowered wrx. I have no skid plate and live on a bad rocky driveway.
