Lifting 97 Legacy L

Featured Replies

Hey guys gonna lift my Legacy and I was looking and seeing all sorts of stuff, but don't know which route to go. I want a 2 inch lift just to keep it cheap and give me more clearance. Other forums stated that I can just swap a spring aND a strut from either a forrester or an outback. Which one should I do? As well would I need spacers or no?

Spacers not necessary. This is pretty well covered in the off road section. In the "How to lift your Impreza" sticky at the top, all the same things will hold true to lifting a legacy except that you wont need to drill a hole for the rear strut tops. They will fit right in.

 

Forester struts gives slightly more lift but fits a slightly smaller diameter tire than an outback. I installed 99 forester struts and springs on my old 97 Impreza and cleared 28 inch tires.

 

Spacers are optional. stock bolts can take a 3/8 spacer for a little extra height. anything bigger requires longer bolts.
