BKiller's 98 Outback DD

[BKiller]

So after changing my life direction with my finances, I decided to get rid of my car payment on my Saab 9-2X (seen below) and go with something paid for. After trying out a 240SX and an older Mustang GT, I realized I missed having a 4-door wagon.
I found a nice clean 98 Outback with everything I wanted including leather and a 5sp. The car has 170K miles on it but runs fairly well. It leaks a little bit of oil but nothing too bad. I don't know what my long-term plans are for the car but for now it will get lowered and WRX wheels and tires.

My 05 Saab 9-2X.

Welcome along! It sucks having to get rid of the nice car but I'm sure your wallet thanks you every month.

Lowered the OB this weekend. Used 05 WRX struts and Eibach springs for a 04+ WRX. I was worried the car wouldn't be low enough. I was wrong. It is plenty low!!
Also installed 17" WRX wheels.

Pics are coming as soon as it stops raining! :smt013

Update your mod list! People will want to know what you used to lower. :)

Actually, the car is level. It is just the smaller wheel openings in the back that make it look lower in the back than in the front.

Very Nice digging the gunmetal with the green

Seriously... there are no words. Great-looking ride, hope it's turning out to be everything you needed and wanted it to be.

Well, made some changes to the car. Going back to stock for now. Check the classifieds for my complete suspension ready to bolt into your ride.
