The thing is, I actually found a set with lower miles than any of the 2nd OB struts I've found. 04 fxt struts and springs with like 40k on them for a little over 100 bucks. I just dunno what all I'll need to fit them.

I can't imagine a lift causing a RSB issue. Should work fine. But I guess I'll find out.
Anyone have insight on the 04 fxt struts???

What paint did you use?

No kidding? I hadn't heard that before. My car didn't actually come with a RSB but I bought one from Subaru_styles on here and installed it. I really would like a small lift though.

Can anyone out there with experience tell me what all I'd need in order to run 04 FXT struts and springs on my car? (93 L sedan) I assume the rear definitely will not bolt up. Will I need to order 93 top hats? Or are the top hats even going to fit? I did a brief search but didn't come up with a clea...

Agreed. I'm down.

That's what I do too kimo. I degrease and spray it down with a good garden hose. Then its easy to see any leaks an where they originate from.

I think with a leaky head gasket you'll most likely be able to visibly inspect the mating section between the heads and block? Also I smelled smoke after driving for awhile.

Diggin it my dude. No idea you got this for 300!

Josh you dirty old dog you! Ahahaha. But in all seriousness my poor exhaust piping NEEDS at least an inch. I've bent a couple hangers already:P

I didn't explain what I meant about wheel gap very well. I just thought that with a strut lift and body spacers, all that is being accomplished is wheel gap as the spacers reduce drivetrain clearance by pushing everything down. Some have said its okay to roll a small lift without too much CV damage ...

@diesel is it 100% necessary to do all the spacers if just going with stock height outback suspension? From my understanding that just keeps your ground clearance the same but creates wheel gap? I too am trying to lift my legacy.

I believe brat man is right. It is bolted to the passenger head. But mine was absent so I made a new one. Hahaha as for the hesitation, i did need a knock sensor but the motor is currently sitting in my garage getting an entire head gasket job and reseal. Huuuuuuge shout out to TD and his buddy Jaso...

Post photos once you get lips an wheels on!

Thank you! Its a work in progress but I love it:)

Speezly I think whatever you have on your wrx wheels will fit. Should both be 16's. But I'm pretty sure I'm running a 205/55.
Put them on though. They look way good.

I grabbed a stethoscope an it sounds like its coming from the center of the block. Alternator was my first guess. But I guess I'll just see what happens. Hopefully it doesn't blow up!

So I just noticed a weird tapping sound in my motor when I turned off my lights. It also goes away when cooling fans start up.
Its a 93 L. It doesn't make sense to me.

For some reason the page won't load josh:( but is it the wooden engine stand you made!??

You're simply genius! Mwahaha > : D
I figured I should buy one anyways. I'll buy one and if its still too darn long I'll cut that bad boy down to size.

Chris, that was actually my first thought! The one I currently have is borrowed though:/

I think you're right mike. The stand seems abnormably weird:/ I'll shop around for a good one that has shorter mounting points.

Haha yep! The separator plate is one of the reasons its comin out! Okay I'll have to look that up. I'd rather not work on an old tire again. Having an engine stand seems MUCH more convenient. I'll be careful with the torque converter. Autos are totally foreign to me. Any chance you remember any of t...

I'll be needing to work on a motor coming up here soon. The last time I pulled my 2.2 the engine stand I borrowed would not bolt up to my motor. The bolts weren't long enough. Any advice? What are you guys out there using?
Also, what is different when pulling and dropping with an auto trans?

@kimo I pulled them off of a Honda. Had to do alot of ripping and cutting:0 hoping I can make them look good.
