We purchased a 2012 Outback today. I have owned a 2000 Impreza and a 2004 Forester XT. Although not as fast, it is a huge improvement to my foz in terms of the trim quality and space. This is our new family car and my foz is being retired to be a fun project car for myself. I hope to learn all about the Outback through the community and make some more subie friends.
Here is my foz. I will take some pictures of the Outback soon.
Those are from a 2010 WRX hatch. For $100, I am willing to give it a shot. The curb weight is only 50kg less than the Outback. So hopefully the drop won't be too aggressive and I don't need to source some saggy butt spacers. The two sets of sway bars are from STIs of different years. I am debating on which one to put on.
how has the ride been? is the springs softer in the rear end? I'm about to put Legacy springs on my Outback and I've heard the rear springs are softer on the Legacy.

Got the VIP authorization form all ready to go, putting financing in place and looking forward to ordering this next Tuesday.
What am I forgetting?
Thanks,
Hey Everyone!
I recently purchased a 2006 Outback XT with only 73K on the clock!!!
On to the bad part, I need a clutch.
Does anyone recommend a clutch kit? Should I ditch the DMF and get a solid one?
Anything helps!!
Can a used Map SD for 2016 Outback Limited with Eyesight, Star link, nav be updated to update 3, skiping update 1 and 2 ? Purchased Outback used, did not know to check for SD first. An older SD card may have original maps and no updates. Do not want to buy used SD (maps), then spend $351.00 to...

Thought I'd say Hi!
New on the forum, but 9 years and 105k miles on my 2010 Outback 3.6R Limited. It's at that age where it's starting to need regular infusions of parts and cash. That's what brought me here. As an old gearhead, I thought I would be doing all the heavy wrenching myself; maybe...
