Mann Engineering - Spring Testing Vehicles Needed

Test Vehicles Needed for Springs Testing - Mann Engineering - NASIOC

"Mann Engineering is looking for the following test vehicles for development of spring testing!

1. 2012-2014 Impreza (non WRX/STI), Sedan or Wagon does not matter, as we want to test the loading capacity to see how much weight we can put in before the rear start to sag. Needs to be stock. These are NOT lowering springs but heavy duty springs.

2. 2010-2014 Outback 3.6R, Needs to be stock.

Customer will receive the final set of springs installed and aligned at no charge. Please contact us at contact@mann-engineering.com if interested. Thank you!

(FYI - I'm not personally involved with Mann Engineering, but they are a local vendor and I didn't see this posted here on i-Club so just passing this information along to anyone that may be interested in helping them out {Looks like you could end up with a free set of springs and a new alignment as well})

Well if they're anything like the Swift springs I got from Mann for my '04 FXT then they'll be amazing. The new Foz certainly needs a couple inches of drop. Glad to see they're doing something for the Outback. It definitely needs to lose a bit of height.

IDK...to test run their springs everyone will have to sell their exhausts and dp's and replace them with Milltek. No one runs anything but Milltek at Mann.

While that might be a problem for the WRX owner/guinea pig I don't think it'll be a problem for the Outback owner.
