SHOULD I DO A 6" LIFT IN MY "MY"?
Hi,
I basicly just bolted the kit in. The kit is very well engineered and i have not noticed any flex at all i can probaley corner faster and feel safer then it did with the 13's at std height.The kit has provisons for braces in the rear that i havent used a i dont really think it needs it. In the rear i fitted some adaptors to fit pin top shocks which the drop on the rear wheels is great for a subaru. I fitted all new extended brake hoses and converted it to power steering at the same time. i modified the gear shifter so it is the stock height but is a shorter shift now which beats rowing a boat style it was before. Other little fiddley bits involved were modifying radiator outlet, lifting ac compresser up 6 inches. Now there is a heap of room in engine bay enough to fit two n70 batterys behind engine or tool box,but not quiet enough for spare lol. The gearing is not quite as bad as i thought probaly 1st is like taking of in 2nd and 4th is better then 5th probaly 2000rpm @100k.very comfortable at 100-110 on the hiway. i will try to post some pics if you want any photos of anything let me know and ill take some.

How does the rear go as far as scrubbing the tyres when bottoming out? From that photo is looks like the wheel arch itself is smaller than the actual tyre. I'm considering going down a similar path myself but this has been abit of a sticking point so far.

Hey, the rear guards arnt a problem the only time it touched was when i hooked up a 2.5ton trailer to move it and the touched when went over gutter but just wound up torsion bar( easy lifted just sit up under there and wind up) slightly. i have them wound down a fair bit mainly so wheels sit up right and not pointing in at bottom. i plan to just make some extended bumpstops just incase. i havent bothered with mod plate the car looks big but not stupid and havent never been pulled up. i was thinking of selling it but i was just going to sell it as is the kit is fairly easy for them to remove for a rwc if needed.
