I remember reading this a few years back but cannot figure out which forum it was on. It was a list of parts that you could use with the stock struts and tophats to get height adjustability.
There was a sleeve that clamped around the strut tube and a set of "universal" springs with different rates but at the proper length.

It may have been intended for first generation Imprezas and not specifically the Legacy.

You're not thinking about these, are you?

Not exactly. What I had seen was that you keep everything original and just replace the spring. The strut is not changed other than a threaded sleave slid over the top.


It was like this http://www.ground-control-store.com/pro ... I=85/CA=25 but less espensive.

Basically the same thing all the honda kids do when they get tired of cutting their stock springs.

I plan to keep the stock ride height or even raise the car. This would be a cheap way to corner balance it.

Ground control is about the least expensive 'kit' around. Circle track vendors, like Day Motorsports, carry universal stuff thats a bit less expensive but it's up to you to figure out front strut tops and spring lengths/dia./rates.

I think you can find them on ebay. although the spring rates you actually end up with are a mystery. They probably only do 8" springs where you want a 10" spring until you get into 400+ lb/in rates.
