Bought the car in Hamilton, drove her back to Auckland and it handled like crap (in my opinion), I had to remedy that asap!

Have you had your D2s certified? If so, how simple was the process? Did they snag you on anything else? Wondering whether I should go down the adjustable route...

Yup - mine felt like a boat!

No cert - I haven't got around to it yet but its next on my list!

I would recommend adjusties - at least then you can match the height better (front vs rear)

Late to the party and didn't read whole thread.. but didn't you just turn the an Outback into a Legacy? geninue curosity here no trolling

Sorta - It's on adjustable suspension for a legacy with legacy bumpstops.

This thread here outlines what exactly is different between outbacks and legacys suspension wise (there's a surprising amount of parts which differ!)

Am I the only dude that likes his Outback at the stock ride height lmao? Also Adikt my man, how did you go about blacking dem tail lights?

Used the vht tint spray. Got a can from repco. Be careful with it though - easy to **** it up. I'd advise taking the tail lights out to complete it also (simple to do)

Isn't that illegal man? I actually have aftermarket housings on mine

Most good things are illegal these days. I duno lol. Just thought it was illegal if too dark. I preferred the clean look of the factory lights so took the tint off which is also a pretty easy job.

Mine is going to get slightly taller because the tyre I want isn't available in 225/60R17... Have to go 225/65 or 235/60. Could also go 235/65R17 but I think that exceeds 5% diameter increase.

Without lowing the centre of gravity your best bet would be upgrading the sway bars, links and bushings as ADIKT mentioned. Apart from that I'm not too sure how else you would be able improve the handling.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
