lifting 2000 legacy L

[superu]

Hey all. Another lifting question. I think i know the answer, but I am less familiar with the 2000+ models, so I'm just looking for a quick yes or no.

I own a 95 legacy (lifted by the simple OB strut swap), but wonder if its the same simple lift for a 2000.

 

My wife's bro-in-law just got a 2000 legacy L (same trim as mine) and wants to lift it simply, like i did with mine (OB strut assembly swap, plus tires).

 

So, can a 2000 legacy L be lifted with an OB strut swap from a 2000+ OB doner?

 

Thanks!

Hello?

Anyone there?

 

Just checking to see if the OB strut swap works on a 2000 legacy L...

 

Thanks to all who know about the newer 2nd gens..

I don't know the answer to that one. My guess is yes, same year struts will work. Go find a used one and measure the bolt pattern at the top of the strut tower. I'd start there.

 

 

Here's a new gen with a lift.

Thanks Zap.

This legacy was getting shipped to Honduras, so a lift would be better given daily road conditions there... My bro-in-law has shipped hte car already and will likely ship OB struts this spring for later installation..

 

I dig the lifted WRX!! First one o've seen.. I lifted my wife's 93 IMP, on forester struts and springs, then levelled the rear with stock legacy springs... worked well to remove the rake-effect..

 

Happy trails,

Yes, we did ours with parts bought from Jamie and others on the board. It was a straight bolt-up. The only problem our installer encountered was aligning the front struts, I guess the marks are different so he had to do it a couple of times before he gort them oriented in the right direction.

 

We called the result the Legaback.
