Got my saggy butt spacers from paranoid fabrications today and will be finishing my modest lift soon. Atomic Fireball included with purchase! Woooo!

If your wheels hit, you probably need new springs or something:(

Well I think you can get up to 3/8" without having to use extended studs! They seem good for the price. Seem to be high density plastic. Just get the GC impreza ones. I think they fit. *crosses fingers and realizes he shoulda double checked*

Added some festive feels for the lolz Image

On a more serious note, I want to get my new exhaust (thanks ride_child!!) mated to a test pipe and some UEL headers on the cheap. From my searching, an Outback/forester OBX test pipe mated to an RS Borla eBay rep header should work just fine, correct?

My first go was with a jack handle as well. Still rubbed quite a bit. Moved to the bat, and i still rub on big bounces/bumps. I need some coilovers in my life! Soft springs suck.

Car has been tuned and she made 255 hp & 306 ft-lbs at the wheels! She pulls pretty good!

I'll post dyno plots and some more info when I get back to Houston.

Put the '91 into "storage" (car cover-disconnect the battery) and put my Legacy Central sticker on her! And I 'hit' first gear on the forum! :-D
