Pony66 Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 I have a 1996 Legacy Wagon, I love it. Id like to get the higher ground clearance of the Outback model. Are the struts different? What parts give the Outback its lift? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosDiosDeVerde86 Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 I have a 1996 Legacy Wagon, I love it. Id like to get the higher ground clearance of the Outback model. Are the struts different? What parts give the Outback its lift? struts/tires. some people say the springs are stiffer too, but i'm not sure about that. i put outback struts on my 96 legacy and have the same amount of clearance as an outback (after installing larger tires).

guy123 Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 This is quite a common retrofit. Search the forums with "outback struts" or other words like "legacy" and "lift." There have been tons of posts about this stuff, just need to do a little digging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcupine73 Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Yep, I'm planning to do the same retrofit on '96 Legacy Wagon, planning to use KYB struts for '96 Outback and probably '96 OE springs unless I can find a reasonable aftermarket alternative; love them King Springs but have to order from Australia.... oh yah, you probably need an alignment after doing this project.
