January 16, 200521 yr How about now? 9 inches even under the Y-pipe and rear diff. Whoohoo! Looks sweet! Do you have something planned for the bumpers?
January 17, 200521 yr Author Are you working the strut magic here, too? The other post. I added Outback struts to make room for taller tires. 205/70/15s. Looks like I can fit 205/75/15s. Just have to figure out a skid plate.
January 18, 200521 yr What do people run (like subiegal and such...) its either prodrive or primitive skid plates... the ones that cover the WHOLE bottom... though with your suspension dropped more I wonder if it will still clear everything... I imagine it should still... (if It can take an airborne rally car)

January 19, 200521 yr Ya Primitive sounds like the word. I may have written that last message after afew beers
February 16, 200521 yr How about now? 9 inches even under the Y-pipe and rear diff. Whoohoo! NICE!! I'm down with the low-cost factory lift of outback struts!! Fit some bigger tires under there too, and get a touch more... I think i'm at 9 at the cat too, and maybe 9.5 at the rear diff?? Are you thinking of higher (after recovering from the strut swap blow $$)? check out this impreza (for inspiration) http://home.att.net/~rsmash/
February 16, 200521 yr Author NICE!! Are you thinking of higher (after recovering from the strut swap blow $$)? check out this impreza (for inspiration) http://home.att.net/~rsmash/ I got the struts for a good price, did the swap myself. It wasn't such a big blow at all. That imp in the link you sent me has been my inspiration for years. I'd actually like to add some taller springs in the rear. A lift kit is not out of the question either.

Dude needs to get on the USMB and share how he lifted that thing
March 9, 200521 yr That Sport Wagon is so trick! Dude needs to get on the USMB and share how he lifted that thing There's always the web page where he explains it: http://home.att.net/~rsmash/strutswap.html
March 9, 200521 yr There's always the web page where he explains it:http://home.att.net/~rsmash/strutswap.html Is there any difference between a one inch longer strut and a two inch lift plate and a three inch lift plate? Ihe OBS strut is heavier duty than stock?
March 10, 200521 yr so what struts do I need to get and does anyone have some that I can buy? (for my 94 imp wagon) i guess I should start lookin for some parts!
March 10, 200521 yr so what struts do I need to get and does anyone have some that I can buy? (for my 94 imp wagon) i guess I should start lookin for some parts! Austin, Dan has some brand new KYB GR2's for an outback... I think he's looking for around $100. JUst the fronts though.
March 10, 200521 yr Author That's what I used, you'd be half way there. 100 bucks is a screamin' deal!
