So you have done this on a 2nd Gen Legacy? What brand OB Struts did you use? Do you happen to have a picture of how the car looks with OB struts?

Ok I may have found my own answer I was looking up part numbers on the oreilly auto and amazon When to KYBs web site and found their online catalog. http://showmetheparts.com/kyb/ They do show different P/N for the outback application KYB 335020(RR), 335021(RL), 235632(FR), 235633(FL). So should I just do Struts or do struts and spacers? Opinions?

Greetings all. I have 2 Green 98 Legacy GT Sedans (2.5L). One is a Manual with leather (Mine) one is an Auto with Cloth (Kids). I love Subies and I figured getting 2 nearly matching cars would make car repairs easier in the long run. Including trouble shooting problems. And Knock on wood if the kid totals hers I will have a parts car My Kids 98 Legacy GT Sedan (auto) needs new struts. We live in Denver CO and the car does do good on snowy roads (as expected). But we often get some larger snow dumps and because the Legacy Sedan is low to the ground the car ends up "plowing" snow. SO, I thought since I have to replace the struts anyways I would try and lift the car a little while I was at it. I have searched and read that putting in Outback Struts would add ~1.5" without camber kits or Rally spacers. BUT. When I check the Part numbers for KYB or Monroe struts for the 98 Legacy Sedan (L or GT) I get the same part numbers as I do when searching for 98 Outback Wagon. What am I missing here? KYB Part numbers 334115(RR), 334116(LR),334111(FR) ,334112(FL) If someone has the correct P/N I need to get a small lift using struts (or struts and spacers, no camber kit) please post. thanks in advance.
