i recently received a 1984 subaru brat from my grandpa(will post pictures later when im done) runs great new engine and trans, i was wondering on how i can lower the rear to level it out so it looks more like a car and rides like one too.

Brats Are and Low Geared off road beast most of the time they ride rough and theres not much you can do about it. But you can make it handle better with RX springs on new struts and rebuilting the front end putting pug wheels on it increases the track 1 in which helps a lot But its still a 4wd truck they don't ride like a newer car does and never will

 

 

But adding the RX springs to the front struts will make it set level by raising the front end up alittle

There is a torsion bar adjustment under the bed that you can use to lower the rear end back to where it's basically level. It's likely been ratcheted up using that adjustment.

 

As for handling..... the options are limited unless you want to do quite a bit of custom work.
