[impreza_GC8]

Looks great! What do you mean by "compressed Legacy springs?" And did you use Outback GR-2s or Legacy GR2s? Thanks

[MarkSubi]

that looks sick!

[swiftman007]

Nice drop your car look sick! keep us update!

[WESTcoast]

I just wanted to say for the past 5hrs when I was at work, I was staring at your car like crazy! I love it, the drop the rims the wagon the color just pure sex for me. What kind of legacy spings did you use, are they just some off a a stock legacy or are they lowering springs?

[sybir]

Setup looks great, man. I love it.

[hallowpoint]

damn!!! this is now my favorite car on this forum, great job

[Airgne]

that thing is sexy. those wheels make the car.

[MRLancaster]

I WANT TO KNOW EVERYTHING YOU DID ABOUT LOWERING IT!!! Im lowering mine eventually, what do you suggest! Im not the only ome that wants to see a vip theme on a legacy xD VERY CLEAN MAN!

[MRLancaster]

Idk why, but i love the scrapes on the back bumper. adds character. but it still looks great with them, and i kinda like it with them for some reason. :-?

[subie/legacy]

great pictures. I really like lowered outback for some strange reason.
that car lowered with those rims.. mmm.
lugs add a nice touch too.

[ndto]

love it!!

did you have to roll your fenders?

[napster_atk]

Thanks everyone for their kind comments.
the car is lowered on regular legacy gr2's in the front and outback gr2's in the back. the springs were compressed by claps that wheels shops use to raise dunks, but due to the noise i took off the claps and cut the springs just to see how they rode, since i had 2 of them. to be honest, they ride REALLY nice for a slammed car, and i know that because on my previous car, i went through 4 different suspensions including coilovers and still didnt get a ride comfort like this. the front fender is 25.5" off the ground and the rear fender is 26.5" off the ground.
here is a picture of how low my maxima used to be:

now at this moment im thinking about going with some wider wheels (cant decide between 9.5's or 10's) so if you guys have any links for any good looking 18" wheels with that spec, you should share it with me! :smt023

[napster_atk]

love it!!

did you have to roll your fenders?
nope. havent touch the fenders yet

[MarkSubi]

So the springs on the outback are cut??

[impreza_GC8]

I am curious to know more about this. I have Outback GR2s on my car at the moment, just not sure I could slam them with good results. You don't rub at all, even over hard bumps?

[fail wagon]

225/40/18?

[fwa2500]

looking at your pics again....is that a KY plate i see? if it is, where in the state are you?

[napster_atk]

that IS what it says....

no rubbing at all. even in the hard bumps

[Perdue]

Wow...both the outback and the Maxima are hot...NICE... :smt023

[datdookie]

damn that sex, hope you dont mind me using your pic for my computer back round

[ryu_haneda]

That drop is INSANE. The rims, drop, and rack combine to make this thing look classy! (Now I'm tempted to do something like that to my '00 Outback (same color as yours))

God bless you and thanks for posting!

[nomad666666]

Do you live in Louisville...

[BH5Ritch]

what size tires are you running on the outback? and did you have to roll your fenders?

[95USsubaru]

uhhh... gimme gimme! lol

[AWDSOME]

you cut your springs?!?! thats a terrible idea

[hallowpoint]

^^not always im on cut springs and they ride good.

[napster_atk]

Do you live in Louisville...
yup, im out in brownsboro road area

[napster_atk]

what size tires are you running on the outback? and did you have to roll your fenders?
the fenders aren't rolled and the tire size is 225/40R18

[napster_atk]

you cut your springs?!?! thats a terrible idea
cutting springs isn't exactly a terrible idea. its not good because you mess up the spring rate, and you can also mess up the way it'll sit on the struts. the only time it can be considered a terrible idea is when you cut them so much that they are just hanging loose when ever you lift your car up.

[Reason]

All BE's should have 18's, they go perfect with the car. Very nice ride, liking the max too.

[dodik]

not a BE reason,
how come you went with such a small tire?

[napster_atk]

not a BE reason,
how come you went with such a small tire?
i was worried about rubbing issues in the front. but after the tires were on the wheels, and the wheels were on the car, i figured out that i could have gone with 45 series. i know for a fact that 50 series would rub in the front. same thing happened with the wheels. i thought i couldnt go wider than 8.5 but now i wish i would have ordered the 9.5's (im kind of a fat lip wheel freak!)

[reconJDM]

this is one sick whip.

[bobbyjimmy]

What sort of camber are you running?
And you think 235 tires would fit easily?

how many coils did you cut on your suspension?

[Chief]

[jmart227]
