October 4, 201015 yr Big thanks to all the members here who've already done this mod and posted about it so I'd have the confidence in lifting my Subaru. Here is my 1990 Legacy with 1997 KYB outback struts, Yokahama Geolander 215/60/R16 AT-S tires and WRX wheels. This is probably the biggest tire this body will take with this lift without trimming sheet metal. I may want to trim a little on the rear quarter just to be safe. The lift angle made my bad axles unusable within 2 miles so I've got some new axles in there too... Edited October 4, 201015 yr by SubiDemon
October 9, 201015 yr Absolutely. Just grab some Legacy Outback struts and springs. At most you'll have to swap the top hats on the rear struts. You'll get like 2-3" of lift that way easy on an OBS. If you have a 93 - 01 Impreza, the 96 to 99 LegO rear struts should just fit.
October 9, 201015 yr Author FYI, I retained my stock legacy springs and it's plenty tall for me. I think it's just shy of 13" at the rockers
April 22, 201114 yr Author well, I decided those new parts looked lonely.... and I need new brakes. Yesterday, the 11.5" WRX fronts and the 11.4" H6 rears came in.
April 24, 201114 yr Try Forester or Outback trailing arm brackets before you cut the quarters. They will center the wheel in the wheel well so it doesn't rub the front.
