Bilsteins into Outback??

by **nico** » Fri Jan 28, 2011 10:33 am

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..?

Spacers on the engine/ gearbox crossmembers and diff cradle
aswell as different struts/ springs

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.
