92justy Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 We bought some 04 Forester XT struts and this is the result of the swap. Before the swap. After the swap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtdash Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 (edited) HI, The FXT struts will cause a larger gap in the front vs. the rear - aka 'saggy butt'- on all Legacy models -Mine. THESE SPACERS will help w/that and won't break the bank. Good job! Td Edited November 23, 2012 by wtdash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92justy Posted November 23, 2012 Author Share Posted November 23, 2012 (edited) Thank you! Do you still have your First Gen? It looks good lifted! Edited November 23, 2012 by 92justy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 awesome, good job! i love the higher stance myself, more functional, running over stuff, off road, snow, debris, easier in and out, more visibility. did you take the after measurement after driving for a bit or right after install? wonder if it'll settle some? i installed new struts in the rear and they were insanely high in the back, looked silly being all raked like that...first drive they settled back down to normal.

92justy Posted November 23, 2012 Author Share Posted November 23, 2012 Thank you! I took the measurement right after install to see what the difference was. I will take another measurement soon though now that you have said that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
