May 6, 201114 yr Metal, drill, saw, welder. That, or 500 bucks Miles fox, do you know of a member or anyone else that builds these lifts? I know Bill isn't planning on building anymore for a long time if ever with his new baby coming. The reason I ask is because you said 500 bucks which lead me to think you knew where to get one for 500 bucks.....thx
May 6, 201114 yr Author have one for sale! stll NIB. I bought it an never took it out of the box... how much for it?
May 7, 201114 yr have one for sale! stll NIB. I bought it an never took it out of the box... Dang I'm interested too....Been looking for a while
May 7, 201114 yr Used ones come up often enough in the for sale forum. That, or you can buy an already lifted car for a partout for cheap enough.
May 8, 201114 yr My advice on this is to..... Jack the car up and put it on jackstands. Make sure it's good and sturdy! (all for corners) Roll around under there with a light, tape measure, pen/pad, and your best thinking cap! It may be necessary to pull a tire off the front, rear, or both to see what may need to be done at the struts/shocks. Keep in mind depending on your goals it may be necessary to build linkages/extensions for your shifter and steering. Lift building is NOT rock science (or rocket science either ). Really if a person has some common sense, and a little mechanical inclination coupled with minor fabrication abilities, a lift for a subie can be built. Where there's a wheel there's way! Spencer
May 8, 201114 yr You may just have to invent something.Keep in mind that if you make a lift, space everything the same distance from the body, and maintain a 15 deg angle on the front struts for proper suspension geometry, Once lifted, the suspension will retain the smae geometry if everything is spaced equally from teh body. Please do some searching on lift kits ans the idea is simple, and can be executed with some ingenuity. The purpose of a lift is to fit larger tires without cutting up fenders and wheel arches, as the overall ground clearance is attained by the wheels themseves.
