I've seen dozens of these ads in my search for a "quick strut" for the 97 OBW but not a single one of them were reputable and compatible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C'mon man don't condescend us. Besides, searching that way yields NOTHING! So what's your point? Sorry man, but there is no "strut delete kits" offered for subaru. Just buy a damn set of KYBs and rent a compressor. Or have a shop do it. Those are the options. You've got the info you need. If you still need to argue with someone about something try a political forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Here's a sweet hint about LMGTFY, check the results to make sure it actually supports your own point. Not so in this case, it continues to stack evidence that this is not a thing. Add quotes to it so that google searches it as a phrase, and there's some mention of a Polaris Ranger with a ridiculous lift but no details, and quickly devolves to modifying hellcat airdams, and hatch strut deletes.... I'll admit, I'm far from perfect and definitely don't know everything, so maybe you'll teach me something. But Parts has been my career for about 10 years, some of which at a Subaru dealership, and I've driven almost exclusively neglected Subarus for much longer. If something like this existed, I think I'd know. And you come across as such a lazy, condescending ***, I don't mind calling you out on it. Don't like it? Change it.

el_freddo Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 http://offroadingsubarus.com/macpherson-strut-to-top-wishbone-conversion/ here’s the link to the strut delete I was talking about ages ago - used strictly for racing and jumping HIGH! Strut and spring swap would be so much easier! Even if you built your own spring compressor like what’s shown in the video posted earlier. If you got separate strut and spring orders in, your probably have it all put together by now! Cheers Bennie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously an enormous amount of custom fab work, and usually requires a considerable body lift to make room for upper control arm mounts. Pretty awesome stuff, but hardly a feasible option for a typical street car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand What option did you choose to go with? The newer assemblies for the fronts would be easiest, and only new/assembled option, rears don't have any options like that.
