I have lowered MY07+ Outback H6 on Legacy specB Bilstein B6 for about a year now. Only did the struts/springs, Whiteline swaybar, Legacy rear upper control arm with Whiteline adjustable bushing. Body spacers still in place.
Im about standard Legacy specB height and havent had any issues sofar just whole lot better handling .
From my research removing the body spacers gives you bit more ground clearance under engine and rear diff (which i would need since adding Raptor headers, they hang quite low) other than that if your not super low the geometry should be quite fine.
But my thinking is that having engine, trans, diff lower to ground than your average Legacy would give you better handling on the corners .
But this thread finally answered the mystery of missing spare tire brace thing. I had an MY05 Legacy wagon before which had it and the OBK does not. Always thought someone had removed it, but the body does not have bolt holes either.
One thing i did notice after having the car lowered and AVO swaybar braces installed is that going high speed straight line and steering little bit sharply left-right or right-left the back of the OBK feels weird, like somehow there is slight delay in seering. Thought it could be because of the missing brace but not sure (didnt notice before since i had worn-out OBK things under it and felt like a boat).
And i dont recall my Legacy having this, it only had stock suspension components but felt solid on speeds.
Any one noticed this?
