  1. So it's awesome the 15+ seats bolt in, but I'd want the airbags functional as well. Any idea if they can be wired in to work? If they plug in, why does the light stay on? Edit: NVM I missed the post where the airbags do plug in, just have to trick the sensor into thinking someone is there.
  2. I promise I've read it a bunch But I just need a bit of clearification. Someone local has a good deal on somesprings from his '06 wrx. So from my understanding, to use these springs, all I will need is a set of rear top hats of similar year (02-07). As long as that is true, my question is this. According to what I quoted above, the spring&strut combo will only drop it .5", But what about if I just use the springs on my stock GT struts?
  3. Oh ya I know. But if I throw 17-18 rims on it I'll have more tire options with the outback struts.
  4. I had a 98 legacy Wagon and I threw some 16" forester wheels on it (stock forester tire size I believe) and the tires rubbed pretty bad on the rear spring perches. I'll have to check when I stop by my father's. He still had the tires.
  5. Thank you! That's basically what I was thinking. I figured I wouldn't see much a difference with the 18mm but since I have the outback I might as well grab it and the mount. I'll wait until I can do both and I'll work on sourcing a cheap Tribeca bar, though I can grab one on eBay now for $90, but that will have to wait. And I have a 97 gt sedan. I'm working on a real right budget. This is my current plan for first suspension mod: I already have a brand new set of 98 outback struts. I also have a 18mm rear sway bar from an outback to replace the 16mm gt one. Now I know the outback struts will lift the car an inch or so. But if I threw on a set of H&R Springs it would drop it back down to near stock hight. And if I used B&G springs it would actually be a little lower then stock by maybe an inch or so. So in the end I'd maintain a near stock suspension geometry but have a stiffer/sportier setup. Another advantage would be the higher spring perches of the outback struts would give some more room for, say, some 17x7 sti wheels. What do you think? I don't really want to go lower, living in Maine these road aren't always forgiving. But this should tighten things up.
  6. How do you think it would be with the 18 in back until I could get a 22? Do you think I should hold off on the 25 until I could do both at the same time?
  7. Forgive me if I'm asking a repeat question, I've read the first page but not the 25 after cuz I'm on my phone. But here it goes. So I understand a bigger rear sway bar, like 22mm, will help considerably with under steer (stock is a 16mm, right?). But if I replaced the front with, say, the 25mm tribeca bar, would I basically be back to square one with under steer? Since I'm bringing the ratio, so to speak, close to stock. Also I have an 18mm rear bar from my old outback. I plan to throw that in. If I was able to source a cheap tribeca bar should I? Or would that be to unbalanced?
