Tried the Legacy sprinsg on the rear.

What were the results on the front?

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.

Any new info? Pictures?

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.

Congrats on the baby and be safe over there! Don't forget about us when you get back.

I'd like to see a B9 dropped.

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.

Has anyone tried the old method of cutting part of a coil off the factory springs?

hot rod tribeca mods

i know the hot rod guys here in socal very often achieve the desired drop by heating up the stock coils....

there is a reason these guys are artists... taking a torch to four coils and achieving the same drop has to take some practice and skill.

Taking a torch to a spring is not in the best interest of your car, period they aren't artists they are just cheap. Their is a difference, the heat will affect the spring rate. If you are going to do something do it right.
