    You can get adjustable links in the rear to increase camber can't you?



    link for example, maybe not Megan brand lol.

      Just slam it and fuck up the fenders like a boss, can always fix them later

        Camber bolts and adjustable lateral links.from you should be able to get -4* easy. I would say go on nasioc but I **** it and have been banned from there on multiple occasions... The community are not very helpful if you ask a question... I would try legacy forums for suspension info.
        Just lower it.

          Been reading forums all day. Found one guy with 18x9.75 +20s which poke more or less the same as mine. Have messaged him to see if he has any info. What I have confirmed is that my set up is the same as the next gen legacy (BP/BL) and there are camber correction kits available for that shape.

          here's a pic of the legacy on xxrs


          Can't tell too much from that angle but it seems he isn't running much rear camber. I think I should be able to pull it off!

          going to buy two tyres next week or the week after and start playing, then once its all set I will get better tyres if need be. I did another test fit today on the front and it seems like it will work without modifying front end, just dial in camber at the front with top hats.

          Cheers guys for looking hope to have an update for you next week!

            Send an email to BC Racing about camber plates for the rear, they may be able to help you out. I got a set for my GF wagon. Works wonders.

              Unfortunately camber plates won't do anything in the rear. It will move the strut but won't move the hub. Have inquired into a white line camber kit

                I've heard mixed results with those whiteline style kits. I think the best way to do it is with camber arms.

                Also, you're probably going to have to get creative with your bump stops, even my moderately lowered BH outback was riding on stops until I took a saw to em.

                Pic of mine for reference.

                    Lol haven't had bumpstops for years! Car was originally lowered when I first bought it. Never had them even though it wasn't particularly low. Since I've had it I have had it extremely close to the ground and still not bottomed out. Sweet outback! Do you get any extra clearance with the fenders?

                    The white line kit is a kta124 and is two adjustable rods per side. So that would be adjustable camber arms isn't it?

                    Edit: with your outback did you take out the subframe spacers?

                      This car looks so much like Marty's car from Mighty Car Mods lol. I hope you can fit those wheels, it will look great

                        Yeah Marty's car is an outback with turbo swap but apart from the guards they are pretty much the same. I'm fairly sure I'll get these to fit. Wednesday is pay day so I will go and find a tyre or two to play around with and start to get a clearer picture of what I'll need. I'm hoping I can get away without camber arms to start with but I think I am dreaming there

                          I'm not sure about the spacers, most of the work was done to the OB when I bought it.

                          Sorry I didn't see that it was the full arm kit. I assumed it was the eccentric bushing kit they offer. The kta124 kit should work nicely.

                          When I was that low I had issues with rubbing on the battery box indent on the front left wheel, aside from that it was good.

                            What wheel sizes were you running? I should be fine for inner clearance, after I've got these to fit if I keep the car I will probably look at running something a bit wider as there is a fair bit of room behind the wheel to play with.

                            The reason I ask about the spacers is I am thinking of picking up an outback after this, I really like the pumped out bumpers and think they look sick lowered.

                                I am most likely going to go with 215/40 Ling longs, or some other cheap branded tyre. The idea is to get some tyres on start bashing guards and see how much camber I will need in the rear and go from there.

                                So today I tried the wheel on the back again at home and wound the rear coilover as low as it would let me. Doesn't go as low as I'd hoped for but camber will solve that and the front has a lot more room so should be good! Any body shortened shocks on these?







                                going to get tyres and try get all 4 wheels on. Just need to have the time as I'm working 6 days a week at the moment.

                                Also went to a meet the other day with my Jetta. Pics are borrowed but I didn't get any myself
