2022 Subaru Impreza 1.5" kit Install

[@shloho]

You guys should offer installation as a package deal. Make some money and customers can be sure it's done correctly

[@brianm120]

I’d prolly cough up some bills to get it done right

[@jenifermedina9302]

Can you please let me know what kit this is! I just got a 2023 Impreza and I really want to lift it before snow season and this is the only video I’ve seen that has my exact car!

[@theadfcrew1431]

good to hear!! here is a link to this kit awdadventure.com/collections/2017-2020-subaru-impreza/products/2017-2020-impreza-1-5-strut-spacers-w-multi-link-spacers

[@michaelking42]

My first Subaru was an 88 Touring Wagon. A really cool feature of this vehicle was you could lift it 2" by turning some screws on the suspension. I'm debating buying a Crosstrek or Impreza right now.

[@nishantmalik20]

If you are not looking for some crazy hp then I'd say buy an Impreza and have it lifted up. If you'll buy a Crosstrek you'll end up paying more just for some looks and lift. I did my research before buying my impreza and found that Crosstrek is basically just a lifted impreza with some looks. I'd suggest buy an impreza..have it lifted up..and save some money

[@shaiapouf420]

I am really eyeing the new impreza with the 2.0

[@nishantmalik20]

@@shaiapouf420 that's a great choice

[@poorboyrally]

If i did a 1 inch strut spacer with my lifted king springs would i need the multilink kit?

[@unkemptsamuel]

Any way you guys can do an install video for the ADF 2” lift kit for a 15-21 WRX? Hard to find any videos for it. Want to lift mine

[@PKCeltic21]

do this stress the coil from the strut? im looking to lift 1" or 1.5" my 2018 Impreza and it seems the 1" wouldn't require additional work but... Axle, Coil concerns me

[@theadfcrew1431]

They do not stress the coil. Any lift kit will stress the axles more then factory. But choosing a equality kit that is set up correctly it will minimize the stress. 1" kits do not come with offsets in the front spacers so you will have to do all the adjustment with the cam bolts our 1.5" kits come with camber caster off sets to realign everything and mlks to realign the rear of the car for optimal performance

[@PKCeltic21]

​@@theadfcrew1431 so... 1.5" , 1 3/4 and 2" lifting in the back will mandatory need the adapter to the frame?

[@theadfcrew1431]

@@PKCeltic21 correct you will need mlks in the rear

[@SamNuckels]

Looking at your site the 1.5" kit includes the multi link spacer kit while the 1" kit does not. Is that because installing the 1" spacer kit does not cause enough of change in the geometry of the suspension, CV axles, swaybars, etc to necessitate moving the subframe? Also what about the brake line brackets? Thank you!

[@theadfcrew1431]

Correct the 1” kit dose not need any mlk spacers or brake line brakets

[@SamNuckels]

@@theadfcrew1431 excellent thank you!!

[@lowellsmoger1096]

Another video mentioned waiting until the car is on the ground to do the final tightening of the bolts. What is the correct way? Does it matter since an alignment will be done after this anyways?

[@theadfcrew1431]

Putting the car on the ground would be the same as using the Jack to Jack the rear cradle up into the body of the car. You just don’t want to suck the cradle up into the body by just the bolts alone

[@anthonyadams693]

I had to add this to my wife’s subby within 500 miles of new, great kit, time for tires, will 215/60/16’s fit okay? Looking at geolander at’s

[@artilleryisbetter]

Yes I believe 27" tires are the limit before fenders need to be modified

[@markscafini4299]

Would you recommend a carrier bearing spacer in addition to this kit, or is that unnecessary?

[@theadfcrew1431]

It’s all car to car basis all depending on if your car has a vibration after the lift

[@numathesaint872]

basically more ground clearance?

[@theadfcrew1431]

Correct as they don’t come with much at all from the factory

[@numathesaint872]

@@theadfcrew1431 I ordered a impreza... still waiting for it. Its a manual and i read that it has a horrible rev hang. Do you know how much it costs to get rid of the rev hang if i take it to a tunner like you guys? or is it something easy enough that I can do it myself?

[@716Flat4]

so the question is, what kind of stress does this add to the drivetrain and suspension and is there a way to fit a 1 inch lift on or do the bolt lengths prevent going below 1.5" for a spacer? I am also curious why you chose to use a spacer instead of the lift springs they sell that are 2"?

[@theadfcrew1431]

Good Question! The CV axles are the only thing you would be stressing out more then factory, We have many people running our kits 100s of thousands of miles with no issues. Also Lift spacers over springs. With springs you will not get any camber or caster off sets like you would with a quality spacer lift and springs will give no Geometry change within the rear of the car to correct for the lift. and with a 1" kit you do not get any camber or caster off sets. Hope that answers your questions!

[@bierlyynn]

Would I need an alignment after installing this on a 2016 Impreza?

[@southwig18]

I have a base model w/o a rear sway bar, will I still be able to install the kit? I assume so.

[@theadfcrew1431]

correct you will be able too

[@southwig18]

@@theadfcrew1431 Will the car still handle alright or should I be worried about excessive understeer with the same components and this lift?

How much would lifiting this at a shop go for usually?

[@theadfcrew1431]

A shop will usually charge 100 an hour for install and usually will take 4 hours

[@beefyjoe2084]

I need this so bad, went camping for a weekend in the mountains and bottomed out several times on rocks and divits in the dirt roads that I would have cleared in my old buick. Not used to it at all, I need to lift mine. Do you know if this will void your manufacturer warranty?

[@theadfcrew1431]

yeah that's usually why everyone lifts them up! because there so close to the ground and hitting everything. lift will only void certain parts effected by the lift like the cv axles but this is all determined by your dealer and what they want to do. We have 100s of dealers putting these kits on bran new cars with the factory warranty

[@michaelking42]

I was wondering if this lift kit turned the Impreza into a Crosstrek....

[@PKCeltic21]

​@@michaelking42kind of yeah, i believe making this is cheaper than buy an actual Crosstrek unless you really need the X-Mode, there is around... like 2,000 to 5,000 difference from models for just more height? yeah i think impreza with lift kit Will be a better option
