It's getting scarily close to the specs of my last RS Lib... but I don't know how much longer I'll keep this shell.

I have an itch for a de-lifted, turbo, 6MT Gen3 Outback

If i wasn't in the market for a R34 GTR as my next car, i would probs look at building a mental Gen 4 Wagon, or similar.

All good. :)

Back on topic: getting the rear to ride nicely can be a pain. Apparently, due to the weight of the Gen3 OBK, stock Bilsteins don't take that well to being fitted with lowered springs. I've been recommended BC Coilovers as a better alternative, especially if ride quality is a concern (though the stock rear springs are apparently no good - you need a different rate, which I haven't been told).

I had Bilsteins and lowered springs before the Tein Flex's - ride wasn't bad and didn't sag. Had wagon specific springs thou.

With coilovers you want a higher rear spring rate - get 2 or 3kg stiffer in the back, i.e 6kg front = 8 or 9 kg rears.
FWIW, I had 6kg all round stock, change the rears to 10kg rear Swifts and didn't notice that much of a difference (have a read about Swift springs) - now have 12kg front and 14kg rears.

2002 Outback - it's gone...
