Guest Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Looks like Bilstein released sturts/shocks for Outback. Stumbled across this: http://abeshokai.jp/news/bilstein_main.html http://www.baneya.jp/bilstein.subaru1%5B1%5D.html Look for BP9. It's time someone addresses the suicididal, sea sickness inducing suspension on your plastic cladded mobiles, Outback fellows. I wonder though if non-USDM Outback has the body lift - I think it sits lower than the USDM OB. Anyway that should be close enough to be a good fit, unlike Legacy suspension. Might be alternative to the upcoming Megan Racing's OB specific coilovers if someone imports them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LICmotorsports Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Yay! Finally. I am have been looking forward to this option. I refuse to put Coilovers on my Outback, especially Megan junk. Now, where oh where do we get these from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

urfsin Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 ouch!!!! These may be nice and all, but $1650 is WAY too much. It still looks like MR is in the hunt...... Slide It Sideways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhBe1 Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Do these work with USDM top hats, etc? Does not look like it lowers much, if at all - a good thing, in my case... 06LOB2.5i MT, JDMRSB, GYTTs, HPS, LGT Mufflers & Leather Wheel, SubiMomo Knob, Inalfa Moonroof, Clutch Switch Bypass, DeDRLd, DeChimed, & Straight Headrest.

red beast Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 so we have to have Bill Stein sit in the back seat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LICmotorsports Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Hmm.. I wonder how much of a difference they will make... LIC, what do you have against the MR stuff? You get what you pay for. We just don't see the 1k-2k coilovers holding up over time. Most importantly, they usually ride like crap. I know some people want to have ride height adjustment for cheap. But not for me.
