Coils in an outback
by Mat04 » Fri May 11, 2012 11:37 am
Hi everyone I'm thinking about purchasing a gen 4 outback and was wondering if my coil overs in the wife's gen 4 liberty would fit and work on a outback of similar year?

Yes.
Need to "de-lift" if your going to dump it or the CV's will be at silly angles.
Or lower it a couple of inches only and not worry about it.

I'm no expert but you'd need some different suspension components like camber bushes, links, ALK, RCA and maybe control arms to correct the lowered geometry, if going low... It could be a very cool look with the wide body-esque wheel arches over e.g. stretched tyres on wide rims....

That would be the look I'm heading towards I seen a picture today of a black 05 outback over in the states with white wheels, looks the part.
It seams like there is a lot more involved in getting an outback to lay sills or be close to it compared to a liberty. Maybe just dump the liberty and get an outback as family car.

I drove a Foz the other day - lifted cars are so much fun, feel so bombproof!
But I like that lowered widebody look too...
I'm sure someone has attempted it here.

Have you just done coilovers or also other supporting mods.
Mark has a list of supporting mods for a low outback here if you haven't seen viewtopic.php?f=10&t=14609&start=195#p236539
