Lowering an Outback


Recommended Posts

So just a quick question regarding lowering an OBXT to Legacy height or an inch or so lower (not slammed by any means). Can I do this just by removing the struts and installing coilovers or is there a lot more required? I see if you go with the struts and springs method it seems to be a lot more involved but can I just swap in some BC coilovers and be done with it (and achieve proper alignment)? I was originally looking for an LGT wagon but there's a nice OBXT that popped up around here and I'm considering buying it and lowering it instead and I'd like to get an idea of the work involved.

A decent amount more. Coils will not give you waht you need to correct rear camber + you will be riding on the Outback bumps stops

 

 

If you get the extended height coilovers (allow you to go an inch or so lower that a stock outback) or put strut spacers on top of normal coilovers you should be fine.

 

Once you get to around Legacy height you need to start thinking about rear camber.
