Some of you have been asking so I thought I'd pull my finger out and start a build thread on my new car.

After searching for a GT Spec B/Tuned by STI wagon for months and narrowly missing out on several, I finally got lucky and found 1 in Sydney. After a few messages were exchange, I booked a flight from Ballina to sydney on a thursday afternoon, checked the car out friday morning. After going over the car and being happy with it, I sign the papers, handed a cheque over and starting chewing in to the ~800km drive home.

I have a few plans for it but nothing major. TBE, wheels, lowered (either tein springs or coilovers of some sort) sway bars and a tune.

Anyway, here it is

2007 Subaru Liberty Tuned by STI #43/300
6Spd
Wagon
101,000km

Good pick up mate.

[Harry88]

So awesome. My fav gen 4!

How low do you want it?

I.e Pinks are a little drop, Tein's are decent, RSR's are probably the lowest.

[CRUISN]

Nice wagon.

 

Personally I wouldnt even lower it.

[Matt]

Yeah it actually looks perfect in the pics

[Shiv]

Love it. Congrats on the purchase! 

 

Is it missing the headlamp washer or is it painted black? 

[Mosti]

I.e Pinks are a little drop, Tein's are decent, RSR's are probably the lowest.

I want the tyres to nearly meet the wheel arch, so maybe half inch drop?

Yeah passanger side washer fell off, replacement has already been ordered

[CRUISN]

Pinks 20mm

Teins 30mm

RSR  40mm

 

Approximately....

 

I had RSR springs on the GT when I sold it. Pretty harsh. Ive also had Teins which werent much better. Since selling the GT Ive sourced and fitted STi pinks to it for the owner as the RSR were too low and harsh for him.

 

If you want to go lower than the Pinks, forget springs and get some coilovers. The BC BR I had in the GT offered a better ride than the RSR or Teins.

Nice one!

Best colour.

[Liberty]

This is gonna be good. I can't wait to see what you do with it mate. That ride height is pretty much spot on in my opinion.

This.

 

I now run the exact RS-R springs that Mark is talking about. I actually bought them off him. They are a little harsh but it doesn't really phase me (at least not yet). If I was to ever get something done with my suspension in the future it'd definitely be STi pinks or BC Racing coilovers.

[Mosti]

The harshness doesn't bother me all that much. I'd like coilovers but for now I'll just use quality springs, unlike the kings in the B4 haha

[CRUISN]

I guess the harsh ride is equally related to the age of the owner. Im past it.

[Liberty]

Not only that, but the state of the roads too. A lot of the roads in my suburb and many of those surrounding it are complete rat shit.

[Alex]

*drool*

[RacerX]

Looks like a good upgrade.

[AB501UT!0N]

Looks awesome mate and did you sell your B4? And re the height I would go pink springs cause it does not need to be lowered much
