Subaru Suspension

Well, it was 19° and snowy outside, I just bought some WRX wagon springs, so why not install them? The rear of the Impreza was sagging form the skid plate, receiver hitch and rack. The two options I had were to raise the rear with Forester springs or lower the front with WRX springs. So, I found some WRX wagon springs for $60:

WRX and OBS springs

The stock Outback Sport spring is the dirty one.

OBS springs

Stock springs

No Springs

No springs

WRX-OBS springs

WRX front and Outback Sport rear springs — The result was about a 1/2″ drop in the front. While not a big change, the ride height is much improved. Not bad for $60, huh?*

*- Plus $11.99 for a spring compressor from Harbor Freight.
