Hello to all, super stoked about finally getting a Bru.

Found some 04 forester struts and springs for her all ready.

Welcome! Lifted Imprezas make very capable little rigs. Used to have the same setup with a green OBS that I lifted. Someday I may get back into one and do a full dual range swap. But with standard AWD I forded rivers, desert sand and mountain trails no problem. Only time I nearly got stuck was in a muddy field, but some more aggressively treaded tires would have fixed that issue as well.

 

If you haven't read it yet there's a "How to lift your impreza" sticky in the off road section with lots of good info. Most notably the small adjustment for drilling tophats/adding strut top spacers in the rear so no clanking. And 2 - if you don't have them, get a set of trailing arm brackets from a 96-99 Legacy outback to keep your rear wheels centered in the wheel well. After that you can clear 28 inch tires with a little trimming.

 

And... post up some pics of the process! These cars look great lifted.

Thanks for the tips.
