Gen4 Bilsteins on Gen3 Outback
Posted: Tue Jul 31, 2012 5:17 pm
Having just under 250,000kms on my Gen3 Outback, the suspension is getting a little tired so Id like to renew all 4 struts.
I notice Gen4 Bilsteins pop up on ebay occasionally and wonder how well the would go in an Outback.
I believe the top mounts are different for both front and rear between Gen3 and Gen4, but I imagine that I could just swap my Gen3 tops onto the Gen4 struts.
As for height, I dont really want to lower so I might have to invest in some Gen3 strut lift blocks to make up the difference.
Thoughts, comments and opinions are welcome
