So I think my new plan is not to lift, but remain stock height or just slightly lower.
I have a new set of 98 outback struts, which will give me about 1-2" lift (cant remember exactly). But if I paired them with say H&R legacy lowering springs with 1" drop, or even B&G for 2", then I'd be back to factory suspension geometry with a stiffer ride. I also plan to throw in the rear sway bar from the 98 outback to help with body roll and potential under steer.
With the additional tire clearance in the rear I should be able to run some larger wheels, maybe some larger 17" oem wheels. When I threw a set of forester wheels on my last 98 legacy they rubbed on the rear spring perches.
Does this all sound logical? Any advice? This will be the first time I've really done anything suspension wise. But I've been reading for hours.
