02RedGT Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Hi everyone! Im planning on lifting my car. Would forester struts directly bolt onto my legacy gt? They direct bolted onto my friends gf8 and he got rid of it but kept the struts and i want them to lift my car. Any experience? Any help? Thanks!

Sara32013 Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Have you tried Outback struts? Prime Choice Auto Parts on ebay have a set of 4 for $106.38. They probably aren't as good of quality as OEM or many other aftermarket companies but I've dealt with this company a lot in the past and have had nothing but pleasant experiences. They even pay return shipping if there is a problem on their end. They sent me the wrong rotors one time and after sending them a message they quickly sent me a prepaid label and gave me my money back. They aren't paying me to write this or anything, lol. Back to the point, I believe I read somewhere that outback struts will bolt right up with no problem and give up to 1 1/2" lift. Hope that helps some.

FtsTexx Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Start with outback struts. More height and more clearance for oversized tires. Not sure if Forester struts will bolt right up on legacy or outback tho. Good luck! Jade - My Legacy Build Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnegg Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 forester struts from some years will swap on, but some years will not, for the rear. but outback struts, year for year will swap. and generally lift you car about 2+ inches. you can use you existing springs, or swap in outback springs. i did this on my L wagon, and posted pics. do a search for ''00 strut lift* outback'' posted by me.
