Nice seeing young energetic folks that just "Do It" ! We almost lack that in the world so I'm diggin' this even though I couldn't begin to do a job like this. There's still an amount of satisfaction seeing someone get a job done ! Kudo's & peace
In my personal opinion I think it would look so much more aggressive with a set of all terrain tires now btw I used your build to build my own turbo wagon almost to the same steps just a little less dangerous
Looks good lifted more! How's the angle of your front axles? When I had forester struts on mine it lifted it around 4 inches and the cv angles were too extreme for me, so I put stock struts back in with just one inch front/1.5 inch rear strut spacers in and it's perfect for my needs. Glad to see you still have the car, I've watched all the videos and like seeing another PA subaru lol. I'm down around Lancaster
I have an 01 Impreza with Outback struts, trailing arms, king springs & Forester wheels/tires (215/60r16) which lifts mine 4 inches or so. Forester/Outback struts only give 1.5" - 2" lift depending on the year, not 4". The cv axle only moves about 1.5 inches from stock so the angle isn't that extreme. The max they can go is about 2" - 2.5" before failure. Unless you're doing strut top spacers and Forester struts they'll be fine. At that point you'll need to do a subframe drop anyways. I've had Cardone axles for 4 years (~42,000 miles) and they're still good.
@@md93-z5e I measured mine and it was 4 inches taller than when I had stock impreza struts in. i forget what brand they were, but they were the 03-08 forester struts I believe. Maybe my stock struts were so clapped out that's why I gained that much lift lol. But idk the angle on my CV's was too extreme for my liking and two sets of axles started clicking with the forester struts, OEM first then some HD axles. I like my setup now much better with just a one inch strut top lift, I don't off road that much so it's plenty for me lol
I would rather fix the entrance to my driveway then increase the height of center of gravity. One of the awesome things about a subaru and boxer engine is the center of gravity is low so it handles better.
@@SeanSR I will say that it definitely has a little more body roll being lifted up a little bit. Although, I only lifted it 3 inches so it didn't mess with the center of gravity too much, it's definitely nice knowing that I'll pretty much never bottom it out anywhere.
I'm about to turbo my subaru I was watching your video about you turbing it, nice to see after 5 years that you still work on this car.

Mason, I would fix that broken anti roll bar specially now that you have lifted it higher.
@@hacabreracabrera3479 I bought a couple new wishbones, I just gotta put them on.

@@reddemon4200 yeah man I agree. More aggressive off-road tires are next, and new wheels. What do you mean my car is dangerous lol
Get some mudflaps and you're ready for some rally racin
