drumkendrum Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Hey everyone ! Wondering what year forester shocks and struts are compatible with my 98 Impreza L wagon. Looking to raise it on the cheap. Thanks in advance ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyman03 Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 i grabbed some Outback struts for my '95 Impy. I believe they came out of a late 90's early 00's JunkYardOutback. I had replaced my stock Impreza struts with a 3" spacer with the struts out of the outback - they matched what i was getting with the spacers + like 2". I was quite pleased -Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cgates30 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 (edited) Out of curiosity, when you raised your car did you have to do anything with the drive axles? I know people raise/lower cars all the time so there must be enough slack in the geometry to handle it. Edit: I've done a little searching and see there are many lift kits. I'll do some further reading... Edited August 5, 2018 by cgates30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartless Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 a basic strut lift does not generally require anything extra.. I did the forester strut lift on a 95 Legacy wagon with no other mods at all and had no issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyman03 Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 +1 on nothing else required. if you do any more than a 4" lift, then yeah, you should think about consequences of other items. I didnt have much of an issue at all. -Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
