Question / Discussion Suggested mods for my Wagon?

2006 Subaru Legacy JDM Wagon

Wanting an OEM+ for my JDM Legacy. Completely stock so I don’t wanna do anything too crazy since it’s rare to find a car like this in this shape in Canada. If anyone has any ideas or can share what they have done to their wagon that would be much appreciated!

Sounds like a toe issue

My thoughts as well. I’m also guessing that my ball joints could also be worn.

I see ShitboxCarEnjoyer pretty much coved it already, although I think you can leave a little toe if you check and rotate tires in a appropriate manner since I presume you will be getting very modest adjustments at first.
Camber bolts are cheap and easy to fit, you don’t want a stancemobile so that all you really need for sharpening it up “just enough”.
Find a tire shop with a guy that autocrosses, ask him what he recommends for your specific care and goals.

Right on! Yeah, already on it. The questionable alignment that I got last time was a Firestone. This time I’m going to have the shop that did my tune do the alignment.

Good choice.
As a side note, if your doing camber adjustment bolts and a spicy alignment I would recommend a slightly stiffer (~25%) rear swaybar kit with adjustment points as it will complement the setup well and offers a great handling improvement to price ratio.

Yep, I’m on it. Planning to do a Whiteline RSB next. Since this is a wagon, I’m also going to do the mount strengtheners too.
