Now I am rolling on Gr2's with Whiteline Ground Control Springs. As well I have added a rear swaybar set up off of a 91 ss. The handling difference is amazing. My car has almost zero body roll. I can really chuck it into a corner with reckless abandon . My only gripe is either that the back end is too low or that the front end didn't drop enough. Any tips on how to fix this negative rake? Anyway onto the not so good pics (it was cloudy out). All in all it took me three days of off and on work to complete everything by myself. Got some help on the last day when re-lining everything up. It's kind of dirty. I need to wash it.

Looks sweet, but the rear seems a little low
Well compared to my stock suspension, the thing rides likes it's on rails. It's a little bumpy but not too bad. I guess from what I have been told, it's sort of like the ride of an STI. Oh and it's an STI axleback, it looks cool and sounds cool too.
I know the back is a little low, any way to raise it a little and maybe drop the front down?

Is there a body shop that will extend my fender line down in the front so that it will even out my car?

Not to resurrect this thread from the dead or anything, but I figured it would be better to bump this versus making a new thread.
First off, I love how my car handles with this setup. The ride is nice too. Just that gap in the front is a little irksome. I know that I that I did the job properly.
Just for some reason I want to fix that gap.
One crazy option would be to get the rear wheel arches cut higher so as to look like the front.
Or I could swap out the springs in the front for ones that would lower the front more (and maybe raise the back a little bit). Does anyone know of springs that would accomplish this on the cheap?

Bigger wheels won't make the front even with the back.

Well, it's been 2 years and it hasn't grown on my that much.

The gr2's are for 93-01 impreza which are supposed to be pretty much the same as the ones for 92-94 legacy. I don't know the part numbers.
And the whiteline springs are the lowering springs (not the flat out ones) for wagon. Don't recall the part numbers.
The saggy butt spacer looks promising but that would only bring it up like a half inch at most. That would help but I mainly want to bring the front down more.
Would there be any springs that would accomplish this? Anyone have them and want to swap?
