    That's what I was thinking. They look similar to what nich1208 had as well. And this is a lot cheaper than Thule. Hopefully they work well.

    Umm yeah, who's the troll here?

    ^That's my outlook as well. Just trying to help others, not saying they can't do it, just telling them what can happen. But thanks for the bashing.

    Lol, now I'm really getting a kick. How many other lifts are done this way? MANY. And I have no tire wear issues at all. And I don't eat axles. But they are at that point, and the boots wear out quickly. If you put Outback struts on a stock Legacy, it's the same thing. A straight down lift. I have done this, with the same results. The cv axles wore faster, and the boots wore out as well. Yeah, it worked fine, but still wears things faster. An Outback strut lift on a stock Legacy lifts the car around 2.5". If you add an inch, that's 3.5" over stock. That's a lot, and things WILL wear much faster. That's all I'm saying. I have been around Subarus, and different ways of lifting them for a long time. Again, sorry for trying to make sure that others are aware of everything that can happen. No need to get pissy. And I have driven and abused my 2" lift for a year and half now, with not a single issue, so I guess it isn't all that bad. And my friend who used the first one of these lifts, had no issues either. We lightly wheel them, tow with them, and drive them. No issues, except for faster wearing axles.

    Ok, just found this, and went on their website and it says it WILL fit a Loyale wagon. So I ordered it. Hopefully it works well! http://www.ebay.com/itm/271158552560?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

    So I sent nick1208 a message and he was kind enough to send me pics, but unfortunately, none of the ones I have found for sale, look like the ones he has! So I still don't know for sure what will fit. If anyone else knows for sure, or has pics of your setup, please let me know! Thank you

    Lol. Sorry my warnings are perceived by you as crying. Just so you know, they are VERY similar. But I'm sure your knowledge far exceeds mine. But anyway, 2" isn't much for a lift over stock. If you were clearer about your set up from the start, then the questions wouldn't be asked.

    With 7"of strut lift you had no problems?! I have shortened axle life with my 2" lifted Forester.
  9. bratman18
    haha yeah that's what I thought.
  10. bratman18
    A 7" strut lift? No subframe spacers at all?
  11. bratman18
    Great job with it. Really cool rig!
  12. bratman18
    Peugeot wheels are pretty much your only option. If you type what you're looking for into the search bar at the top of the forum, you will find your options.
  13. bratman18
    Even better! Looks like you made out well.
  14. bratman18
    Damn, looks real clean! And 4WD even! Is it 5spd or auto?
  15. bratman18
    Looks great! Do you use it offroad?
  16. bratman18
    You will eat cv axles if you lift that much and do no body lift.
  17. bratman18
    I will be mounting my roof basket on these, so the Thule style would work best. But thank you for the suggestion!
  18. bratman18
    Ok, I will send him a message. Cool. Thanks for the info!
  19. bratman18
    Ha. Junk yards aren't common out here, and any older Subaru is not existent out here anyway.
  20. bratman18
    If you go on Thule's website, and look at their fitment guide, the one they list for the EA82 is discontinued, no longer available. It's the LB50 bars that fit the EA82.
  21. bratman18
    Yeah I have the bars picked out as well. Just want to be sure if the feet will fit the car. I wish I had gotten the ones you had.
  22. bratman18
    Trying to figure out what will fit. Amazon says it will. But I'd like confirmation. http://www.amazon.com/Thule-300-Roof-Gutter-Mount/dp/B00029X6F0/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1363125018&sr=8-2&keywords=subaru+loyale+roof+rack

    GL's had light grey too. I have had a few. And as for your rpm's not dropping as fast, make sure you don't have the nuts for the clutch adjustment too tight. You want a little free play in the cable where it hooks into the fork.

    I've redlined most of my subarus, with the exception of a coupel, on a daily basis. Never bothered anything.
  25. bratman18
    Yeah outback struts are pretty much the same as 03-08 forester struts. The 98-02 forester had lower rear spring perches.
