Ok, I had mentioned that I purchased a set of stock Leagacy springs and was going to try them. Well tonight I got the rears put on. And its deffinitly a no go. Rather then lower it it actualy raised it about 3/4 of an inch. :eek:

On the plus side it did get rid of the understeer. But the wheel gap just ain't going to cut it so going to try something differant.

OK, there still might be hope. Turns out the dealer ordered the Legacy Outback Springs which turns out are the same as the tribeca springs. so he re-ordered the regular none outback ones and going to try those.

Hopefully the next ones work. Are you getting wagon or sedan springs? I think the wagon rear springs are at a higher rate.

He was a little more carfule on his ordering this time around and checked the part numbers and the springs for the wagon and sedan are the same part numbers. Now there is a slight differance of the top hats on the springs. But so far they work ok.

Sadly no. Havn't had time to try it. With a new baby moving to FT, Campbell and Deploying in two months there just hasn't been time. Sorry guys when I get back in 15 months I will more then likely make some custom Coil-Overs.

Thanks guys, I have been thinking about it and I might actualy do some airbag struts. reason beeig so that I can adjust the height when ever I want. I was driving home the other day and sall a little dirt road that looked like it led to a river so I drove down it will I was verry impresed with how well the car did down the road after it turned into nothing more then a grass covered valley it deffinitly lacked clearance to keep going the direction I was going. this won't let me adjust for a stiffer ride but this is a family car after all so thats not as important.
