Crawlerdan Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Well folks, finances forced the sell of a few of the greats (in my mind at least) but i am back in the subaru world now, and quite pleased about it i recently purchased a 2000 obw it is a 5 spd, sohc 2.5, and an lsd rear it had 90k on her when i bought it she is baby hauler, wife mobile, (oh ya, while i was on my usmb vacation we had a baby boy) anyway, here are a few pics of the car i want to lift it 2.5 inches or so. forester struts? dont remember what those do here-dont really want to spend 900 on albies kit, even though he does live down the street from me. i dunno missed you all-well most of you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can add these to a non-outback legacy to get a lift but I don't think you would get any lift at all. I put outback struts on my non-outback Legacy to lift it. I sit higher than outback now.

legacyak Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 I have the exact same 00 OBW, same color, same 5 spd, but 176,000 miles. As far as I know the struts for foresters are the same height. Just out of curiosity, have the head gaskets gone out yet on your car? I didn't have any problems with mine till 150,000 or so.

BruceyWV Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Forester struts also wont work on that generation outback as the rear of the forester uses a macphereson set up and the rear of the outback uses a multi link suspension.
