A friend of mine is doing alot of performance work on his outback and we are gonna be using my old fxt parts as donor parts.

Will my Fxt springs fit on his struts? has anyone tried this?

What year outback is it? iirc the forester springs might give it some lift actually.

The 2000 should have the same sort of suspension setup. Not sure how the springs would fit on his struts, or if you would need the whole takeoff strut+spring. I'd give it a try and see how it goes!

I think the 2000 Outback has a different suspension setup in the rear (shocks instead of struts).

Ah you're right, I was one generation off. So 99+ uses the control arm setup in the rear, so none of the suspension parts will swap over.
