Looks great, but I am just wondering why does the front look jacked up? Time for new springs maybe?

For some reason that seems to happen when putting 17s on these cars with stock suspension. Mine looked exactly like that until I lowered the front with coilover sleeves.
My thought is that assuming the suspension is shot (as was on mine) and the rear sags and the fronts dont as much so it lifts the front end. Kinda odd.
But looks great! A little suspension work and that thing would look even better. I love the 5 spoke LGT rims!

well i did the struts about a year ago with KYBs and i heard from here that they tend to raise the front a bit for some reason i think. and i have 04 WRX springs that will be going on only the front since the rear is already rubbing the fenders. not sure if the springs will lower it enough though.
Thanks for the comments

well i wasnt going to do the backs cause i thought it would lower it to much and make it sit on the fender so i was just going to do the fronts

I'm not sure how I feel about the no spoiler look...
But I don't like 17"s on legacys. Too big and the car sits too high.

smh0101- i did the tint myself. i think in all it cost about 30 bucks at autozone. in person it isnt the best but its better than spending almost 200 hundreds dollars.
kimokalihi- yea i wanted to put a spoiler on there but since its just a FWD nonturbo i thought i would leave it off since it isnt sporty. the 17 might be a little to big. i think next i might get the 16X6.5 snow flake ones from like the 04 legacys
