Look at Primitive for their King springs 225lbs/in Fr., 200lbs/in Rr. progressive rates. They lift the car 1cm. If I can't get GT42R's hotbits, I'm going there.

I'm not sure you want to higher for rallying. The Outback is already pretty high. If anything you'll want to be a bit lower. High suspensions are great for off-roading, but rallying always takes place on-road (or on simulated on-road courses). A skid plate is all you need for the really rough bits.

Oops, ya that would be 1cm up from a wrx wagon, not outback. It would likely be stock height for the outback.

Really? It took you a month to say that? Classy.

I also noticed the the $1500 upgrade in your RHD RA that you posted a week after I pmed you. Also classy...

I ran outback suspension for the last 2 years in the rallyx and it worked great. I was concerned about the body roll but I don't find it bad at all. With some of the ruts that are created at the rallyx's I found it to be great suspension. Personally I did not spend big money on suspension for rallyx as it is the CHEAP way to rally and I wanted to keep it that way as well as having a good ride on the street.

That is my thoughts exactly Cory. I am doing this on the cheap. I have two kids, a wife and a huge mortgage. I am going to run it the way it is for now. This is going to be a multi-purpose (rally-X, TSD and working rally) rig. I want to keep it as flexible as possible.

If I get fast enough to need better boingers I will look at adding them then.

Yea, I ran MLWR with Norm and Discover Ontario with a neighbour who has an STi and it certainly makes you want to do more. Now Rally-X!
