Hey all, just picked up another Subaru after owning two already. My first car was a 98 Legacy GT and the second was a 2002 WRX. Just got my third one, a 1997 Outback. Got the car for $2500, head gaskets and timing belt already done. Yes, unfortunately it is an automatic. I have done some work on the car thus far, nothing too major.

Dang! That looks sharp! What's it lowered on?

[98-lgt]

Thank you! It's currently lowered on WRX Struts and Tein H-Tech Springs, but I just picked up some JIC FLT-A2 Coilovers to mount on it. Thinking about selling the Rota's and going with a set of XXR 527's, if any one would be interested in the Tarmac III's.

[Navi271]

You're welcome. That looks pretty level for springs, I was thinking you had coilovers on there already!

[r3v_v3ng3]

xxr527 :smt023 what size and offset your planning to get?

[98-lgt]

The 18x8.75 +35 in flat black or gold...

[98-lgt]

Removed the upper pin striping today...I think it looks much better.

Id be interested in the wheels, depending when you sold them and for how much. What are the specs on them?

[98-lgt]

They are 18x8 +48 Rota Tarmac III's in Hyper Black.

nice rims! we have Rota in russia but his price is 400-500$ one rim

[98-lgt]

Need opinions! I am getting the XXR530's when they come out, either flat black or gold. What color on my car looks better?

Black wheels on your car are boss. The tinted tails and sidemarker up front match up well. Are you going to do the JDM side indicator also?

[Kansei]

[Chief]

+100 looks nice, buddy

Thank you! It's currently lowered on WRX Struts.

How did you clamp/clip the brake line to the wrx struts? I hear they have a different mount for the brake line.

[98-lgt]

Yes, they do. I just used the stock brake line clip and pushed it into the WRX slot. It seems to hold fairly well.

[98legwag]

Sweet, thanks. I have a possible line on some wrx struts assemblies.

[98-lgt]

Yeah they are defiantly worth the money.
