So where is it gonna be? WA Couty for real? I keep hearing it's moved. . .

That picture is years old. . . He's also in Australia. We're doin' fine, workin at getting taller. Mine will be 2 inches taller than the pics seen so far. It's in the garage with the new sprngs, all ready for reassembly.

Just spring for the Kumhos. They're an honest 27 and a proper mud tire. I've done the drive to Portland and back, plus 1k miles, they make good road tires too.

The whole idea was to get some extreme sticker to offset teh Honor all beings. Make people wonder WTF?

I believe the Scorpion wheels are about $140 plus shipping from AU. . . $480 for a set of 5 is much cheaper. His price is the same as the price Jerry charges for 4X140 14 inch wheels. A bill a piece.

"Honor all beings"

It's a joke. . .

I'd recommend Richie for that type of work, he and his Dad are pretty damn good. www.Rallitek.com for performance upgrades. Say if you wanna add bigger brakes. . . A turbo. . . Mudrat79 for a lift and bumpers. D/R conversion?

13 or 17?. Here's 13, 18, and 20 together. The 18 from a 96 Japanese WRX, and the 20 from an 03 US WRX. Worlds of difference beween the three. I just gave the 18 back to the guy I was gonna buy it from and put the 20 back into the L. Now the L is happy again. Me too.

This would be a board members ride. Needs a little more to be legal to drive, but pretty much ready to go. Check out the clearance under the diff. We're trying to figure out the perrfect sticker to offset the one that's on there rather than taking it off. "Heston for Pres." "I kill hippies" (Seen 'em, they exist)

Me and that hammer are old friends. Here're a shot without plywood. I managed to cover the back half before I cut out.

No offense taken at all. Hope we can help, but it's nice when folks can kinda help themselves by searching sometimes.

Dude. What would you expect your impreza to handle like if you lift it and put truck tires on it? BF Goodrich ATs don't come in a 195/60/15. They come in tall sizes. Why would it wander all over the road because you put Forester struts and shocks on it? Are your ball joints bad or something? Did you know that the forester is built on the impreza chassis? Would it be more cost effective to put a body lift on it? Have you looked into body lifts for the impreza? Do you have any idea what either costs? Have you made any calls to a parts dealer, new or used, to look into the price of struts and shocks? Do you do any of your own research or is this forum just "ask Jeeves" to you? Not trying to be harsh, but come on.

Are secrets still allowed here? lol It'll rear its head at the next RallyX. I be the co-pilot!!!

I'd say it went pretty good.

Kumho 27/8.50/14 on an impreza OBS. They barely rub on the rear when going thru a big dip in the road. The fronts rub a little on the plastic mud guard when in reverse. (new wheel bearings on the driver's side might fix that) Without a tranasfer case, your tranny will love you long time for not choosing bigger tires than 27s. And to anybody who might think it looks funny to have a tall lift and not so big tires. . . check this out. How about a 12 inch lift and 13's?

I don't know that they make springs for an impreza. I think they tend to put forester or outback struts on the imprezas. I think the Scorpion springs would be taller than the OB springs, but I think too tall. No kinda down travel and a super stiff ride.

Sorry, I've been looking at this one with envy for years. . .

That's it. No, the cv's won't suffer. Imps also have a camber adjustment at all 4 corners.

Looks cool, but I wonder how hard that is on the wheel bearings. . .

Yes, you'll probably have more ground clearance than a stock forester.

If Ann can watch the boy, I can make it for a while. Got my own hammer even. lol You know I'm a roofer by trade, right?

Don't paint it pink Austin. . . Remember, subtle is good. lol

I'll take one too. SHould you get a line, count me in.

Corky, I'll help if I can, but I have a pretty crazy day. . . I'll call you in a bit. EZ
