LOWERING MY SUBARU OUTBACK!
Vložit
- čas přidán 4. 04. 2021
- In this video I am finally lowering my 2006 Subaru Outback! We installed BC Racing Extreme Low coilovers along with ESR CS1 Wheels. Fitment was great although needing a little bit of modification to the fenders. Other mods: Megan Racing rear adjustable camber arms, Whiteline rear adjustable control arms front and rear. Whiteline front strut tower brace. Plenty more upgrades coming soon. Hope you enjoy the video and stay tuned for more content with this car coming very soon!

Great video. I feel like there are no videos of lowering outback’s so even this helps let me know what to do and what I need. Thank you for the parts in the description aswell
Thanks for that! Glad I could help someone out. Hope you stick around for some more videos 👍🏻 if you have any other questions on parts or things feel free to send me a message here or on Instagram.
Probably because most people would just get a legacy if they wanted a lowered outback
That looks so good. This is the plan for my 05 xt.
Great stance ! Looks so much like my 2006 Subaru Legacy Turbo wagon
Dude thanks so much for the video! Ive been looking to lower my 2005 for a while now, but until now no one has actually shown everything I need to do it! dope!
You’re welcome! Very glad I can help out! I noticed the same thing that there really aren’t any videos for these outback’s at least not explaining what you need and all that. Hopefully you stick around for some more videos, if you have questions about anything feel free to shoot me a message on here or on Instagram.
@@andreungaro2533 you got parts numbers by chance? Im looking for all the non-coilover suspension parts and it is super confusing to find online
@@patrickmangan9062 here are the parts that I am running: white line rear lower control arm kit: KTA124, Megan racing rear adjustable camber arm: mrs-su-5011. That should be all you need besides coils. Also I recommend getting the white line rear trailing arm bushing: W63398. If it’s original then you’ll for sure want to swap it out or it may tear on you. Also, the outback has front and rear sub frame spacers (since it’s a lifted legacy) you can either keep them in or removed them - if you remove you need to replace the oem subframe bolts with Legacy sub frame bolts because they are shorter. I left them in and it’s been just fine. Mainly if you want to get everything in line and put less stress on axles. I plan on doing that soon just didn’t have them at the time of install.
@@andreungaro2533 dude bless up man. Thats so helpful!
@@patrickmangan9062 no problem! Good luck with the install!
Looks good, kind of makes me want to tint my outbacks
Cool rim choice nice ride.
Sick!
Awesome build dude, this made me wanna drop my outback so bad
Looking like what I want to do with my 02. What shocks did you use?
I got a 05 outback xt with lower struts and custom 3in stainless straight pipe but every time I hit bumps my sway bar hits on the exhaust any ideas???
I've got an 06 OBXT 5M. What spring rates do you have & damping settings? Wheel specs & tire? Did you get the roll center kit?
Looks fckin amazing! Now I want a Subaru wagons 🤘
How much did you drop it by?? Also what’s your wheel setup. I’m trying to for a 18x9.5 set up on coils
I am currently trying to figure out why on the same factory lgt springs is the front of my xt 3.5 inches higher than the rear which is tucked like yours was...i went for a full spec b swap and im not tryna carolina squat my shit..
What parts will fit this? Would a sedan front lip fit? Also?
Would 2010 Forester Coilovers fit on a 2010 Outback?
Pregunta... que media de llanta y neumático es para que quedara así?
Was the initial install at max height before lowering it another half inch?
where do i get those mud guards or mud flap
What is your headlight/taillight setup??
Also looking for some speed mods if you know of any. Thanks
Where did you get heights
Are rear control arms necessary when you did this? I'm planning on running bc coils with my car..
I would say yes. I’m not sure how bad the alignment will be after dropping it without them. The oem arms only have Toe adjustments so having everything adjustable is really what you’d want especially to make sure you get the fitment you want. Plus, the car handles so much nicer with all the new bushings
@@andreungaro2533 awesome and than you for getting back! And I probably would drop my car nearly as low as you haha. Love the car and the stance.
@@Oosik91 no problem! Yea I decided to drop it as low as I could without rubbing lol surprisingly there is still more room but going to need a few modifications to the inner fender. But I don’t think I will be going much lower than this lol my thoughts were basically if I’m going to be loosening everything up I may as well take the time to replace the worn bushings. Being an 06 with 110K there was a bit of wear on the bushings so made sense to me
can someone explain the basic problems these cars have?
Hey Andre, I have the exact wagon, 2.5I.
What cat/exhaust system are you currently running?
Currently the exhaust is completely stock. My oem cat has finally given out so I went ahead and ordered the Inferno Fabrications Catted UEL headers. I’ll be running those and most likely just a muffler delete to get some rumble. Not going crazy loud with this setup I want to keep it more low key but still have some sound.
@@andreungaro2533 Thank you Andre. Just started following you on Instagram. I also sent you a DM regarding the inferno Fabs cat.
some told me you need to change a lot of stuff because of the factory lift. is that true?
Yup! I have another video showing control arm install that explains it
@@andreungaro2533 what do i need to buy all together? i can’t watch a video right now
how do the coilovers ride? is it smooth and not a rough ride? thinking of getting the same ones for my outback!!
I actually have another video describing my first impressions that would help! Compared to regular BR types these are a bit on the bouncy side. Granted my dampening is set pretty stiff but still. I would recommend if you can, to opt for the swift springs upgrade for these.
Where could I find the swift spring upgrade
@@danielwagner630 when you go to order the suspension it will give you the option or will tell you to include in the instructions. Depends where you get them from
@@andreungaro2533 what do the swift springs do exactly
Hey mate I currently have a 08 outback would like to know what coil overs to get?
Hey! Well you have a few options. For similar fitment to mine, or lower, I recommend the BC Racing Extreme Lows. If you arent looking to dump the car on the ground, regular BR types or similar from other brands would work perfectly. For a lowered/oem fit and ride quality, you can also go with oem Legacy/legacy GT suspension and remove the sub frame spacers that are installed on the outback.
@@andreungaro2533 thank you so much
@@sethsherden3906 no problem!
Great video, was wondering what else did you do to the suspensions? Did you have to replace the bumpsteer or any adjustable arms?
Thank you! and Yup! I actually have another video showing what i had to replace in the rear in order to help with alignment. The front did not need anything really besides replacing control arm bushings only due to them being worn out and needing replacement anyways. But yes, I did replace rear control arms as well as the trailing arm bushings with the Whiteline kit.
@@andreungaro2533 did you experience any issue with the toe? Oh I watched most of them just now, now I’m on your first impression. I was reading that a few people had to change everything from outback to legacy parts.
@@reconjdm So you dont really need to change anything to legacy. Only real thing you can do is remove the front and rear subframe spacers that the outback has. That pretty much makes the geometry more of a legacy instead. Not necessary to lower it but its recommended to avoid excessive wear and tear. Whenever you touch suspension you should always do an alignment because it will most likely be out of spec and could cause a pull. But when you replace those arms it makes it very easy to do. But I did not have to replace anything else besides that. The control arms are technically for a legacy maybe thats what they mean? I listed part numbers i belive in one of these other comments if you would like to see exact parts i am using.
@@andreungaro2533 thanks a lot bro. IG?
@@reconjdm anytime man! Mines @ static_bp6
hey what size wheels are these and offset?
These are 18x8.5 +30
@@andreungaro2533 Thanks!
At 4:03 were you near max height as far as adjustment goes?
Nope it could go higher than that. I don’t remember exactly how much but I know it wasn’t maxed
@@andreungaro2533 Makes sense! I’m not too familiar with how the rear suspension on these Subarus are. Are they a divorced spring/shock setup? If so, how much more room did you have adjustment wise to bring the rear up with the perch if you recall?
@@gavanphotography7814 spring/shock are one assembly on these cars. The rear has a lot of room. More clearance than the front that’s for sure. I’ve almost maxed them out and it was tucking the rear I raised it up a bit for more flush fitment but at max height you’ll have no clearance issues. Only thing to watch for is wheel width. This set up in the video is 18x8.5 and had no trouble. I am currently running 18x9.5 +38 and that requires a bit of cutting, rolling and pulling of the fenders. So depends on the set up you’re looking to go with
@@andreungaro2533 Thanks man, I appreciate the clear explanation! Makes it easier to understand for sure
How high can they ride?
Max height on the extreme lows are about 2” lower than Stock ride height
What about speed bumps???
Go sideways lol or avoid them. Driving a low car is like watching a great value version of Picasso work his magic
Dirt nasty low
