Lifting my bugeye... Or at least considering it

What's up everybody? im lookin to lift my bugeye with some forester struts, I heard they are direct bolt ons for the wagons but haven't been able to find much info for the sedans. I've looked into the king springs and spacers and such and don't think I wanna go that route. If anyone has any info on any modifications to make the forester struts for my sedan that would be dop3... Like freshrex dop3. Also if it will be too much lift for my driveline, axles or control arms. Anyway I miss the sac crew since I've moved to Santa Cruz but hope all is well with everyone

I support this idea, I'm just bad at it.



205/70/15 Bridgestone Duelers on 15x8 Braid Winrace Acropolis gravel wheels (they clear the 4/2 pots).

I may have some 16x7 RS wheels for cheap if you're interested.

Needs moar high. Luckily the bottom spring perch on the forester suspension sits higher so I can fit my 26" Lexani's

So I was able to find out some info about suspension options from some of the users on the Dirty Impreza forum. The 02-08 forester xt suspension is a direct swap without modifications for sedans. It is also a good idea when doing this to buy adjustable trailing arms due to the position your rear tires will be at after putting on the larger suspension. Gonna start looking around and saving my pennies to get this set up goin
