idosubaru Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Friend has a 97 Impreza Sedan looking to get him new strut assemblies. What rear strut options are there to lift it a little? Are 95-99 Outback and Forester strut assemblies about the same in terms of how much they would lift it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Forester will be the same as Outback till '02 I think. '03 has a taller spring perch. King makes lift springs also. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloyale Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Forester will be the same as Outback till '02 I think. '03 has a taller spring perch. King makes lift springs also. GD this is a little misleading. Fronts = 95-99 outback or 98-2002 forrester fronts are the same. rears = 95-99 outback struts are the tallest. Followed closely by 98-02 forrester or 03-08 forester but those have different brake line clips. 2000+ outback rears will not fit. for this OP I would recommend 99 Outback struts for all 4 corners, and perhaps the rear tophats from 03-08 Forester for a 1/2" more height in the rear.
