lift kit install
i just got back from les schwab, they alignment was a little off, but is in 100% now. i measured against my freinds stock 92 wagon, and it is 4 1/8 inches taller with forester struts, links, and these spacers. i have not droped a diff or cross member, and have seen no ill affects yet. im driving it 3500 miles in a few weeks so ill let yall know what i tink my machinest said hes up for selling more, but initially they are going to a little more spendy then what i wanted (prolly 180-200 for all spacers and hardeware) this cost will go down if bulk or group buys occur

lift kit install
i wanted a spacer for the struts on my 91 legacy and i came to the realization that no one made these parts for the rear of early legacys i had already lifted teh car using forester struts, and trailing arms, but needed just a little more to take advantage of the large tires i had. so i contacted a local machinest and he got started. the prototype set was finished this after noon, and installed on my car. it is 1 inch thick HDPU plastic i had him machine reliefs in the bottom so that the longer studs could be bolted on, then the spacer installed i used 1 inch longer then stock studs, and still had room for my strut tower bar in front the rusult was a gain in one inch, an no negative affect on camber at all these will fit all 1st gen legacy wagons and sedans. the front pieces will fit all subarus newer then 1989-i think install took 2 hours with air tools these will be availiable soon for sale they include all 4 spacers, all hardeware, and instructions they will be cheaper if bought in bulk, but right now the material is expensive in small quantaties

Seat swap question
make sure you get wagon seats if you have a wagon, sedan seats if you have a sedan the rears are not as plug and play as the fronts, but are do-able

First Gen legacy lifts- Please weigh in
hello- some of you may remember me looking for saggy butt spacers for my 91 legacy, there are none as most of you know. it was either a full blown 4 inch lift like SJR sells, or re drill your towers in the rear to accept other legacy struts. Well -im working on a solution that will satisfy the others that are simply looking for a little ummpphh for larger tires, a little extra ground clearance, etc. ive contacted a local machinist-and we are making strut top spacers for the first gen legacys what i want from yall is- what sizes are most appealing for you? i plan on offering a few sizes the first run will be 7/8 inch spacers, and longer studs-for the front and rear. this will lift all 4 corners material is 6061 t-6 aircraft grade structural alluminum i was thinking maybe a 1/2 size, and a 3/4 as well. what does everyone think? when i get the first run i will post up pics and install on my 91 please let me know what size you would be interested in, and what you think a fair price for 4 spacers and a set of hardeware is

Crawlerdan replied to G-money22's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXi have shifted a subframe about 1/2 inch before, thats why i suggested it, it resulted in camber specs as you descibe. i went the the wreckers, got new bolts, pulled it back, and had it aligned.done
