  1. Don't do it. I regret lifting my 2008 Imprexa Outback Sport (the one the couldn't decide on a name for..I have heard they just made them up to use part they had for other models..) What good are bigger tires?? I cannot safely drive on the local highway, which is really winding and dangerous on a good day since there are no sway bars. I wouldn't care IF it had helped with the clearance. It didn't. I STILL bottom out every time I try to go up my driveway. i needed clearance!!!! Now, I have no sway bars, no windshield washer reservoir, or fog lights. And, now I want to get rid of it and lifting it has lowered it's value. I will never buy another Subaru. (For many reasons...) I used to love them.. back in the 80's. I've had 2WD cars that were just as good/bad at dealing with my driveway. With far better mileage.
  2. ALL I can say is I deeply regret lifting my Subaru. It has not helped me deal with the muddy driveway as I'd hoped. It is now too dangerous to drive on the main highway here.. (17 to San Jose from Santa Cruz.) I was not told what the absence of sway bars could mean on a high speed, curved road. So what if I can put bigger tires on it? I still bottom out daily; IF I even try to make it home. I usually park the thing and use my Mule to get to my house. It also sucks not to have fog lights where I ive. Yes; I know I could shell out ore money and have other ones put on. It wasn't fun to try to find a windshield washer reservoir to replace the factory one, either. I now have a car that looks bad, does not drive well on highways and basically just as useless in the mud as before. Like a jerk, I thought Subarus were still as good as the ones from the 80's. Yes; I feel stoopid... every day I look at it. I wish I still had my '87.
