i had a better camera but it malfunctioned and Pi***ed me off so i threw it down on the garage floor (concrete) shattered it.

the pictures show are from ym crappy cell phone.

Well, I know this is off-topic, but you might tried to fix that Camera...

 

I still use my HP 837 Camera, which I own since year 2007, whose battery is held in place by a Zip tie, and a couple of mini Screws inserted into the Plastic body, to prevent the Zip tie from slip...

...That camera has an Awesome "Macro" mode which has helped me thru the Years to complete my Writeups with Great photos; but recently, I obtained a Sony DSC-H90 camera, mainly for shooting 720p HD videos for my YouTube Channel.

 


 

Back on your '94 Subaru Loyale, let me tell you that it looks Great with those wheels, only needs better quality photos  :) 

 

Kind Regards.

Awesome!
 
Can't wait to see this Wagon Lifted.
 
Kind Regards.

I really like that shade of blue you are sporting. Is that a factory color or was it painted?

got my 2" Lift Kit From ADF Anderson Design & Fabrication a few days ago, thought i posted on here...

 

cant wait to install this bad boy in my Loyale..

 

going for a small lift, nothing to big...in a way i'm keeping it suttle..

You'll Need to drop the Engine's crossmember, in order to keep the Steering parts + Suspension parts, Healthy on proper geometry; otherwise you'll be wasting time, effort and money on Axles, the steering won't be working as it could be, and the amount of ground clearance gained by not dropping the crossmember, doesn't worth all that. I learned that in the hard way...

 

Kind Regards.

I never had a single issue with axles or anything with any 3 of my 2" strut top lifted subarus. And only one of those had the correct camber. I've never understood why some people do.

I'm not dropping the the cross member, i will lose ground clearance, its a waste of a lift if i have to drop the crossmember. so i wasted money on the 2" lift kit ? i specifically told ADF i didn't want the crossmember drop.

... I've never understood why some people do.

 

Look here for my answers:

Please, read both posts to better understand the Situation.

 

Yes, I know that you don't "Need" to drop the engine's crossmember with strut blocks up to 2", but that is like to exercise with extremely tight pants, it always will be better to run with loose clothing... so I took all the front suspension & steering Geometry back to "Closer to Stock" specs, and the results are really outstanding, you'll never notice that the car has been Lifted / modified, and even improves handling; but that is on my Subaru "BumbleBeast" which is my daily driver on week days / offroader on weekends.

 
Maybe if you only use it for offroading, taking the Suspension + Steering Geometry closer to stock specs, doesn't really matter...
 
Kind Regards.

for the record, i will not be offroading, it will be my daily driver / winter beater.

i'm in for the look more than the functionality.

for the record, i will not be offroading, it will be my daily driver ...

 

So, in that case, to drop the engine's Crossmember will be Helpful even More, because the little loss in Ground Clearance wont be a problem, and you'll avoid grinding C.V. Joints frequently, plus everything I detailed above... However you live in the USA, where you have an almost Endless source of C.V. Joints and maybe you never have been left stranded in the middle of nowhere, due to a broken C.V. Joint...

 

I have to deal with really Crappy, junk quality aftermarket C.V. joints... if I could find them locally.

 

Kind Regards.

I daily drove all 3 cars with mine. One of them I put 70k miles on without an issue. And that was also with offloading on the weekends.
