    @ADIKT @JGM If I've read everything correctly, bumpstops, struts and springs is all I need to change if I want legacy height, right ?

     

    Yes, depending... What's the plan/desired outcome?

     

    You'll end up with a decent amount of rear camber though.

    @JGM @ADIKT I don't have an outback yet but the day will come and when it does I have no interest in being in public with it at standard ride hieght so working on gathering the required parts already. 

     

    In regards to the bump stops, do you think I could trim them down or just forget it and try find some legacy stops from a wrecker? 

     

    I think you'd need to go for the Legacy ones to be honest... @ADIKT I can't quite remember, did you trim/grind yours down or go for the Legacy ones?

    Holy S***!

     

    I'd be keen to see you fitting them! 

     

    You are going to require a lot of guard work...

    The more I think about this (instead of working), I'm struggling to see how you're going to clear the inner fender liner etc... ?

     

    Having said this I have seen this width/offset combo done in the states...

     

    ^My reaction to the 18x9.75 20p idea 😂

     

    Having a little peek through the old files are we @A_J_T? Seems like your heading in a certain direction which both @ADIKT and I can assist with 😉 and you don't even own the car yet!

     

    But in all seriousness, the larger/wider you go - the less room for tyre. I tried to keep the rolling diameter as close to factory as possible on my 8.5s which meant a 225/45 tyre, and that rubs on the inner guard liner at full lock (at my height that is).

     

    Basically you need to cut the plastic flare that lips back inside (approx. 15-20mm), cut out the lower fixing point of the plastic flare and have all four corners rolled/hammered...

     

    Will you be at the Westgate meet next @A_J_T? If so, you can have a better look at mine.

    What have you done to your car today?

    mate, it's probably not taken for a reason. "EJ" for most normal people is read as "Edge" . you will be the "edge god" . it's NSFW so not linking but look up meaning of edge / edging on urban dictionary. ppl that know about subarus will know its about the engine but you gotta factor in what normal people see/read cos you may or may not get a lot of S*** for it. ppl struggle wtih my plate to this day , but lucky its not linked with some random disgusting slangs lol

     

    Ayeeeeee, different strokes for different folks fellas!

    Also it depends on how the policy is worded with nominated drivers, I remember having to put the wife down for a nominated driver and had to say what percentage of time she drove. 

     

    This is what I was referring to, I'm with ami and that is how it's done. Get yourself into trouble if you're a nominated driver at say 20% for arguments sake and then you're involved in an accident - they're going to scrutinise your claim to further extent in that case.

    eh, it's legal and nothing wrong with what he's saying. If the cars under his mothers name and he's a registered driver, there's no issue.

    Didn't need to mention that there's lots of $$ with said company but oh well

     

     

    There has been a lot of talk lately regarding insurance and being careful what you say and post on forums, hence my comment.
