A lower, more composed Outback that still rides comfortably.
The Spec-A is designed for Outback owners who want a cleaner lowered stance with improved control, without sacrificing the comfort and usability that make the platform so practical.
Dežru Spec-A Coilovers – Subaru Outback (2015–2019)
The Dežru Spec-A is engineered specifically for the 2015–2019 Subaru Outback, focusing on daily comfort, improved stability, and a clean lowered stance.
The Outback is a heavier, more practical wagon platform, which means suspension tuning needs to prioritize compliance and support rather than excessive stiffness. Many coilover setups use rates that are too aggressive for daily use, creating a harsh, busy ride. The Spec-A avoids that by using balanced spring rates and properly matched damping to improve control while preserving comfort.
With a lowering range of 0.5" to 3" below OEM ride height, the Spec-A allows the Outback to sit lower and feel more planted while maintaining proper suspension function and real-world drivability.
Key Features
- Comfort-focused monotube dampers tuned for daily driving and rough real-world roads.
- Rebound adjustable (20 clicks) for fine-tuning ride quality and responsiveness.
- ~280 lb/in front and ~336 lb/in rear spring rates, selected to maintain comfort while adding support for the wagon chassis.
- Dual height adjustment for independent ride height and preload tuning.
- Radial bearing front assemblies for smoother steering and reduced spring bind.
- OEM hybrid upper mounts to reduce noise, vibration, and harshness.
- CNC machined high-flow piston for consistent damping response.
- Electro-plated steel shock bodies for durability and corrosion resistance.
- Stainless steel shim stacks for long-term consistency.
- Pre-configured brackets for ABS and sensor line integration.
- Fully rebuildable with individual parts available.
Performance Character
The Spec-A makes the Outback feel more stable, more settled, and more enjoyable to drive without taking away its daily comfort. It reduces excess body movement and float while keeping the ride compliant over broken pavement, expansion joints, and rough roads.
The front spring rate maintains comfort and steering compliance, while the slightly higher rear rate adds support for passengers, cargo, and the longer wagon body. This helps the Outback feel more controlled during lane changes, braking, and cornering without becoming stiff or unforgiving.
Around town, the ride remains smooth and livable. On the highway, the chassis feels calmer and more planted. On backroads, the suspension provides better composure and confidence while staying comfortable enough for daily use.
While designed primarily for comfort, the Spec-A is still capable of spirited driving and occasional autocross, making it a versatile option for street-focused Outback builds.
Who This Is For
- Drivers who want a comfortable, lowered Outback
- Owners who want improved control without a harsh ride
- Daily-driven wagons that still carry passengers or cargo
- Street-focused builds with occasional spirited driving
If your goal is an Outback that sits lower, rides comfortably, and feels more composed in everyday driving, the Spec-A is built for exactly that.
