oooo Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Hello all, I have a couple questions about some imprezas. 1. Does the 1996-2000 subaru impreza outback get its extra ground clearance from body spacers like the legacy outback does or does it get its extra ground clearance from the larger stock tires. 2. What are the differences between the regular imprezas and the impreza outbacks, other then the paint scheme and seat cloth if they don't have body spacers for lift. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njdrsubaru Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 I had an 1996 impreza outback and a regular impreza wagon, and the only difference were the tires, you are correct, no spacers or suspension... although they may have changed that in 2000 Hello all, I have a couple questions about some imprezas. 1.

idosubaru Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 i think he means the difference between the 96+ sedans and the Outback Sports. i've driven and had both last year and don't know. seems like the OBS was taller, but that may just be perception and i had 16" WRX rims on it...but i dont know that those are any bigger than what the sedan had. I had an 1996 impreza outback and a regular impreza wagon, what's the difference between these two? for 1996+ there's only one impreza wagon and it's an Outback Sport. i'm guessing you're talking about the impreza wagons before they were Outbacks...without the lower cladding and such...those are not 1996+ vehicles. I guess the question for the original poster is by "what's the difference" do you mean between the earlier non-outback impreza wagons (but you said 1996+) or the difference between sedans and the Outback Sport?

oooo Posted January 10, 2008 Author Share Posted January 10, 2008 sorry for the misunderstanding I meant the difference between impreza wagons and impreza outback sports. Just really wanted to find out for sure if it had the body spacers or different suspension, because used outback sports usually cost more and if it just different paint and interior treatments I can just get a regular wagon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 if there is a ground clearance difference i would imagine the struts are different. i know people swap struts to get some ground clearance on some EJ models. you might want to do a search and find those threads, maybe they are in the offroad section of this forum? not suspension, but the impreza outback sports all got the EJ22, where other impreza's may have the EJ18.
