Outback suspension lift part

Post by fredsub » Fri Feb 16, 2007 11:17 pm

on the scorpian web site theres a pic of outback with 50mm body lift + 20mm suspension lift.

For now i'd like to do the suspension lift part asap,
so is it purely some different springs, ? if so what brand/part no etc?
I'm guessing the suspension lift part does effect alignment, so is there anything on an Outback to compensate this?
Thanks

king springs probably.

it will affect alignment. the front should be able to be adjusted, and the rear will change so little that it wont be an issue.

You should give scorpion a call and check..

If you go to the http://www.kingsprings.com.au web site you can see the parts numbers there. Front has camber adjustment on the bottom of the strut. The rear has tow adjustment which can improve your camber.

I have got a kit in mine and the spring lift as well. Wheel alignment is good again now since I have replaced all the bushes.

Thanks:p

Any shocky recommendations? currently the ride is very soft, don't know what shocks are on it tho, if still original....but the paint on the springs look newish!
Looking at http://www.kyb.com.au
hmm many options for the outback,(adjustable too,see AGX) guess it depends on how much i want to spend huh?

Oh and I do need to replace some bushes, stabilizer bushs I think are shagged, maybe ball joints?
Should I get aftermarket ball joints or genuine?

I have an Liberty, would like to lift it - do I require Outback or Forester struts? and raised coils from KYB or Pedders? also what other things do I require?
