Well my first official pics of the ol BD. This really is a great car. Here are a few before and after pics of the recent Eibach/KYB install. Mods are SPT axle-back, K&N drop-in and the susp mods. Everything else is OEM Subaru. Enjoy.

^^^ what did you switch to? I'm still waiting to see your car at a pirates meet.

Oncesir, looks really clean. I am a huge fan of the eibachs as they are just low enough to improve the looks, without looking too ridiculous and without making the car unusable in snow/over speed bumps/etc... Though I still hit my exhaust on certain speed bumps. The black with bronze looks real sharp.

Is that a CRX parked on the other side of it in the first pic?

Civic. check the sig.

oncesir - tint the windows and it'll be a nice, dark ride.

Yeah, but the hatch lines are all wrong for a Civic, unless it's a Honda Civic CRX (which is actually the full name of the vehicle :smt016 )

Even though the sig says '94 and '91, it looks a hell of a lot like an '87 CRX to these eyes. The other one looks like a Civic Hatch.

Sir, you have a point there. I was looking at the front lines only. The rear line through the windows of the Legacy looks like a sloping hatch...

I switched to some JIC magic coilovers to fit some wider rubber under there. It is way more stiff now than it was and I actually think I need to swap to some softer springs on the coils. The eibachs were nice but they were holding me back in terms of clearance under the car. With some fender flares and some new wheel bearings, 285 rubber here i come!

Thanks for the complements. The car in the first pic next to the legacy is a CRX. The black car in the garage in the other pics is my 91 Civic hatch. Ive owned it since 97. The hatch is the HPDE/track car. The CRX was a project that I'm selling. Honda makes a great car(I'm an ASE Cert. Honda dealer tech). Unfortunately they get a very bad rep because of stupid f*cks. Just recently I have gotten interested in Subarus. Ive had great luck with my legacy. Aside from some oil leaks(common), its been a great car.

Hotboxer thanks for the deal on the Eibachs. They ride great. Now I need an Outback RSB.

A MD meet would be great but it needs to include a spirited drive somewhere. :smt023

MLB All Star Game road trip bump. The ol Sube deserves internet props for a trouble-free road trip. Just shy of 3000 miles in 9 days. St. Louis is awesome(where I'm originally from) and we had a great time. Some pics for your viewing enjoyment.

It did. I'm sure I'll load it with a few engine/trans combos that may make the ol Sube break the tiniest sweat, lol.
