Hi everyone, I did some searching and found nothing on giving Imprezas a 1-2” lift by swapping to forester complete struts.

Can anyone confirm / show me a thread that covers this topic please.

2005 Blobeye 1.5i Impreza, GD2-006177, 5-MT, FWD (JDM)
Location : Caribbean island of Antigua.

thanks!

 

I'm sure there will be guys like Don Clark on here who can help, but for searching there's a lot of stuff on this on both Nasioc and RS25 where people have done it before. Not sure I've ever come across that question on here before.

 

Here in the UK its usually Foresters being fitted with Impreza suspension to lower them.

In the US and Aus there was an Outback version of the GD Impreza although not much difference in ride height to the standard model




As above NASIOC and RS25 would be a better place to ask this question.

 

Do based on what you say the reverse is doable. Are they plug and play across the same generation?

 

I'm not intending to be unhelpful with a 'do a search suggestion', but I'd have a read of the thread below over on Nasioc. My understanding is that they are all cross compatible but Don and the thread should be able to confirm that. If you need to make saggy butt spacers then they're easy enough to do, and if you need to replace the rear top mount studs then you simply need to peel back the rubber isolator and then press them out (I don't think that's actually mentioned in many places).
