  1. Thanks brother I went with the 3mm gaskets. After some further research that's what was recomended
  2. First time buyer for Michelin X Ice. After reading the reviews they sound like the best for the price when here in Philly we will get only 3 months of bad weather.
  3. I have an 05 GT. Im ready to buy the "top feed" IAG TGV replacements knowing that the "Side Feed" are an issue later down the road with tuning. Question is the Phenolic Spacer set with the Nitrile Gaskets... Am I getting the 3mm or 8mm? I am bolting on a Blouch 440 XT with a GS TMIC...Thanks
  4. Ok cool..I had Tein H Techs on my older wagon and they were great. Also had paranoid fabrication 3/4" saggy butt spacers and the car sat level. I don't tow or haul stuff so that 3/4" will work. I will go for the KTA124 the money is not an issue but I want it all done at once so its over. Still about the same price as a decent set of BC Coil overs if you add up the KYB's H Techs and KTA 124 kit. But this is a daily driver that will see winter so coils are going to rust and seize over time. Pretty sure this LGT KYB set up is best for what im looking to do with the car. Thanks...
  5. So it sounds like I will go with the 05-09 LGT KYB's and eitherTein H Tech H&R or Swift. Now for the spacers 3/4 or 1" to prevent the "Saggy Butt"? Will I need the whiteline rear camber/control arm (kit KTA124) or is that just for guys dropping their Outback's to the ground against their cars natural height with coil overs or is that for shock/strut lowering too? Thanks
  6. So you did lower it and which KYB's did you decide to go with the LGT or Outback specific?
  7. Question about KYB's with Tein H Tech or H&R's on an 06 Outback: Im reading that the KYB's for 00-04 Outbacks are a little stiffer than the 05-09's so some guys go with the 00-04 either all the way around or just in the rear on the 05-09 Outback. But im looking to lower my Outback so it seems like the 05-09 Legacy GT KYB's are what I need to apply but not sure that there wont be any other rear suspension mods involved to keep the camber and toe in tact without buying the Whiteline kit. Not interested in coil overs since its a daily driver and winters here in Pennsylvania will destroy them over time. Im almost positive that rear saggy but spacers will be needed either 3/4 or 1" but thats why I am running this topic buy you guys who have dropped Outbacks. Thanks....
  8. Can you elaborate on you suspension set up please....
  9. Looks like there are two ways to go on my 06 OB to lower it. Either struts/springs or Coil overs. It's my DD so its going to see winter weather here in Pennsylvania. The question is can I throw a set of KYB's and Tein or H&R's on it with some saggy but spacers and be done with it. Or if I grab a set of the BC Coil's specific for the OB will that be a better application? Where I am going with this question is is it a plug and play or from reading on here is the Upper Control Arm need to be addressed? I understand the bump stops must be remover because of their height and replaced with LGT wagon versions. I really don't want to get into too much. I just went through a full suspension replacement on my 05 LGT with Whiteline and Fortune 500's including new aluminum LCA. I am not looking for slammed either just an inch or more of wheel gap would be preferred.. Thanks
  10. 2006 Outback 2.5 Manual all blue no two tone BS. 135.000k lowered on LGT wagon Swift springs and KYB Excel-G's along with front and rear Whiteline adjustable away bars. Wish I could get the photos to upload on here SO FRUSTRATING!!
  11. Sorry for the late reply but I wound up buying a mesh grille so the Hella's would clear the grille. It looks fantastic but now im interested in finding a Subaru emblem that will attach to the mesh grille that's made for it. Any idea's? Thanks.......
  12. I bought the Grim Speed Hella horn bracket that is a universal piece for all Subies. I mounted it on my LGT and I went to install my horns on the bracket and no matter where I place the horns in the slots the horns are pressed up right against the back of the grill. I can't bend the bracket backwards because then the wiring hits the radiator. Looks like I don't have a choice but to buy an aftermarket grille that will make room for the Hellas.
  13. Sounds like from reading that even the sedans need the "saggy butt" spacers regardless of which springs you put on.
  14. But with the KYB Excel-G's and Swift Springs on a sedan do you need the "Saggy Butt" spacers? I know you did on your wagon....
  15. For a 05 LGT sedan what lowering spring is the best matched with KYB Excel-G's then?
