It would have to be a system like on the Audi Allroad or VW Tourag.

Air suspension would be cool, but it's expensive and works backwards. To make the car handle better, you'd have to increase the air in the bags to stiffen it, and it raises the car, which kinda defeats the purpose. Might as well use the LGT suspension or similar and enjoy it.

I'm running on a set of LGT shocks & H&R springs specific for Legacy, which drops the car about 4.5 inches.

looks nice. i dont think its all too different from people modding their outbacks to be more "off road" worthy. the car is designed to be a compromise from the get go. one person takes it to one extreme, another goes to a different.

nah, it still looks like crap, even after all these years

That is like cutting its balls off.

Oh wait! My ex wife tried to do that to ME!!!!l

And what of those of us who live in the U.S.? Seems like dropping an OB would be cheaper/easier than importing a Legacy/B6/liberty whatever. Can we just drive to CAN, pick up a legacy and drive it back across the border?

I do think that 05+ with single tone paint would probably, out of all the choices, be the best looking one to lower but that's just personal bias.

No, I won't be doing it to my OB because I only have one (actually, one between my wife and I) and I anticipate rough roads and weather to come my way. However, as someone mentioned before, an OB at stock height -- or lifted -- and another one lowered...yeah, I could live with that. I would still be willing to sacrifice a few points in the lateral Gforce category for a smooth ride; legacy hardware would probably do for me.

buy a loyal for your offroading and drop it!

paintballplr199 · 07-15-2011, 02:38 AM

oh and my lowered legacy has still seen more mud and rocky mountain roads than most of those douche bags puking diesel smoke out their stacks

Does that apply to the diesel Outback owners as well ?

bringing this back from months ago....lowered OBW look pretty awesome. Wayyyy better then lifting them IMO..but everyone has their own opinion on what looks good and what doesn't.
