  1. Thanks for all the great info guys. I have a '16 WRX, and didn't see much if anything on the thread regarding the current model. For some background, I use it as a daily driver and want to maintain highway handling, but I frequently take it off-road and hate being held back by clearance limitations, but don't want to worry about rolling. I know it's a give and take, but might as well at least try and get what you want, right? From my research, it seems that I have 4 options: 1) spacers ($200) 2) raised King Springs (1.1" front 1.3" rear lift) ($450) 3) raised King Springs, 1/2" front 3/8" rear spacers (anything larger would compromise handling I hear), and a rear subframe spacer kit ($800) 4) Feal Max Travel 441 Coilovers (I think these are the "Gravel" coilovers previously available) ($1550) It seems pretty unanimous that springs are preferred to spacers in terms of performance, though lift amount is comparable. Obviously #3 would have more lift than #1 or 2, but some have advised against adding spacers to the King Springs to maintain handling. The sales rep at Feal has advised that its Max Travel 441s could raise the car up to 2" above stock (although the website only says 1"). This would put #4 at the top of the list lift-wise with the added benefit of improving handling, but it is significantly more expensive. Also, there may be the added benefit of allowing for a bigger wheel than otherwise possible with a spring/spacer combo due to the longer length of the strut (unconfirmed). Are there any other solutions that I should be considering (other than increased wheel size, which I will do after determining the new clearance after the lift)? And any comments/guidance/suggestions on the above options? Thanks in advance, will be sure to post pics.
