Legacy Outback
is there a ground clearance difference between a legacy and an outback?
i have a legacy and it is pretty low to the ground. there are a few large speed bumps around town that it drags on. sometimes if i pull up too close to a side walk the front bumper will drag. someone told me that the outback sits 2.5 inches higher than the legacy. is this true? if it is, can i interchange the different parts obtained from a salvage yard to increase my ground clearance?
i should also add that my car is a "legacy outback"
the out back version has more clearance than a legacy, it is similar to the forester which based on imprezza running gear my forester has about 200mm. a legacy estate has 150mm to 160mm depending on model and an out back has 200mm. check these pages subaru uk http://www.subaru.co.uk/Subaru_co_uk/ViewMenu.qed?menuid=M1M4M8 and http://www.subaru.co.uk/Subaru_co_uk/ViewMenu.qed?menuid=M1M6M8

Car Safety Reviews: IIHS Safest Cars
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) recently released its new list of the safest cars on the road today. These cars earn the all coveted “Top Safety Pick” award, and this year there are 27 of them that earned the honor. The list boils down to 19 cars and eight SUVs. There was only one manufacturer to earn honors across the board in all categories, and it was not a big hitter like Toyota, Honda or BMW. No, the manufacturer with a top pick in each category was Subaru. All of their products, the Legacy, Impreza, Tribeca, Outback and Forester, earned the highest safety ratings for front, side, rear and roll-over impacts.
One of the main reasons that theses tests did not include bigger names from larger manufacturers is the inclusion of the roll over test. Many cars out there will pass the other tests with flying colors, but because of the new roll over test for vehicles, many manufacturers, including Toyota, the world’s largest car manufacturer, were left off the list this year.
Vehicles are evaluated on different terms based on type of crash. They simulate accidents that can happen from sleep deprivation to just having your brakes fail. Front impacts are conducted at 40 mph and offset to the passenger or driver side of the vehicle. Side impacts represent the front end of an SUV and are run at 31 mph into the side of the testing vehicle. Rear impacts are a two-step procedure that included testing the head restraints of the vehicle’s seats. There is also a test to simulate being rear-ended at 20 mph to see how the seats and passengers respond. The new rollover test involves pushing a metal plate against one side of the vehicle at a constant speed. To earn the highest rating of “good” a vehicle’s roof must be able to withstand a force of four times the vehicle’s weight before 5 inches of the roof have been crushed.
If you are in the market for a new car, especially if you have a growing family, the list that the IIHS puts out should be taken into consideration for you and your family so that you know your car is the safest it can be. For more information, visit iihs.org.
