1981 Brat Gen1 Lift

Featured Replies

Hey fellas,

 

Its been a while since i have posted anything. I was wanting to lift my brat 3 inches or so. I have done some research on the message board and have seen that people talk about just adjusting something in the rear suspension to get the 3 inches on the back. This is possible right? If it is could someone please tell me what to actually adjust?

 

Thanks guys for your time,

Kelly O.

on gen 1 you cannot adjust anything you have to drop both torsion bars to get a lift in the back

 

I am currently finishing 2 lifts for these as we speak

if you adjust the torsion bars to get the lift you might get an unstable ride mine was clocked up when i got it and i couldnt go above 50 mph with out it feeling like i was gonna launch off the road. if you clock the back end up the camber is messed up.

Michael are you building the lifts to sell or just lifting some subs? From what i have read on this message board I'm pretty intimidated by having a gen1 subaru. If you are lifting some brats is there anyway you could post some pics? How high are your lifts?

 

Thanks for your time,

Kelly O.
