Hoping one of the tech-heads out there can help me....
Would a set of the Bilstein shocks & standard B spec springs as sold by Wheelpower in Sydney
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/SUBARU-LIBERTY-B ... 27b5abde5c be a straight fit into an MY07 Outback?
Also, as these came out of GT Spec B's (2.5T) would there be any issue going into a car with the H6 3.0 (weight-wise)?
cheers, Nico.

Just get the wagon version and you'll be right.

Thanks Luke.
Can I ask what experience you have to support this? Have you done this yourself??

Where does the extra 50mm of clearance come from in the Outback -ie, are the shock mounting points same distance apart as a normal wagon..?

I've done it to a Gen III Outback, Gen IV have basically the same suspension.
And as above there is spacers on the cross members which are 1".

The GenIV also has a spacer on the rear of the front lower control arms.
