To SSB

Bolt length: I think a washer on top of bearing (under the nut) is called for. Re tophat p.n.'s, I've never seen an "A", only the later "B's".

OB2.5 & Bac, thanks! I think I am about 1" higher, more or less, but without any spacers. Wouldn't mind being 16.zero front, 16.25 rear. Trying to figure out how. They need to make an Outback...

Catalyst, you are probably very, very right, but I can imagine the thought process: Spec B is supposedly the higher perf model, so parts off it must be an improvement, or at least sportier. Used...

don't forget they improve gas mileage, are completely load-leveling, last 300K miles, and prevent accidents.

In my limited experience, spec B springs are much longer, taller, but made of skinnier / thinner metal. I don't know if they are stiffer, softer, higher, lower, but they are definitely different.

Define comfort.

Tires matter.
Personally, I think Bilstein HD's are more comfy than KYB, except for blown marhmellow rear KYB's...on a perfectly smooth road. But I'm in an Outback, so what...

question and answer

answer: no need to "assume" they are Bilsteins. Rear bilsteins will have a thick-metal aluminum lower perch for the springs, whereas the KYB's will have a stamped steel one press-fit onto the shock...
