  1. 2" would be great, I just don't want to go a full 4" or more and end up needing to lengthen the steering shaft & all kinds of other craziness that I've read about because I just won't have time for it. I think what I'll end up doing is try for 3" using forester struts & springs with a 1" strut topper lift kit, the other trailing arm brackets, and the drop sway bar mounts & extended end links, and maybe finish it off with a little bit of wheel spacing. I want to try to keep my on-road performance intact within reason, i know how to drive my Impreza a little too well haha thanks again for the help, i'm looking forward to getting started.
  2. Please excuse me for asking this after this has probably been answered more than once here. I have ADD, it is what it is. and just think, I'm a locomotive mechanic lol visual learner, sorry... I have a 97 Impreza wagon with bad front struts. I figured I might as well do something fun & take it UP a bit, especially since I'm an offroader with a not-yet-built truck & take my Impreza on light trails once in awhile. If I read this thread all correctly, I can go up about 2" with forester struts & WRX springs, or closer to 4" with forester struts AND springs. I got that part. What I'm not sure about is at what point of lift I would need the forester sway bar drop brackets, KartBoy longer rear end links for the front, and Outback trailing arm brackets for geometry correction. Is there an amount of lift I can induce WITHOUT needing to play with the sway bars at all? thanks in advance.
