Lifting A Subaru WRX

[@Yokevv]

Looks good, I'm thinking about doing the same for my bugeye, been driving it slammed for 6+ years and I'm tired of it. This way you can actually take the damn car off road like it was meant to be.

[@MoistMTB]

KGNAOH haha yep I wish I didn't sell my bug eye, I wish I would have kept it and had a summer set up (slammed) and a winter set up (lifted). Best of both worlds in one awesome sounding car

[@Yokevv]

TrucksAndTuners what size tires are those btw? Thanks!

[@keith2860]

i saw a lifted wrx with some offroad wheels i gotta say it was sick, id leave it lifted thing looks bad ass

[@MoistMTB]

Butt-Crab THANK YOU I think it looks sick too, especially with diamond racing steelies with a sick offset

[@Deathlynumb]

If you never did anything with it after this I definitely recommend some spacer to give it a meaner wider look

[@albertoayala8781]

know this video is a bit old but LOVE how much fun you guys had doing it

[@realeyesrealizereallies7134]

Dude, I put lowering springs on my Audi a4 and it took literally about 12 hrs. I still have nightmares !

[@MoistMTB]

real eyes realize real lies hahah yeah it's annoying sometimes

[@Leatherkid01]

You can adjust the slack on the gas pedal..... Theres an adjuster by the linkage on the throttle body

[@MoistMTB]

Leatherkid01 good tip :)

[@itsabraham6625]

What rims and tires were installed and how much did they cost? Also im assuming the forester struts cost around 300?

[@MoistMTB]

Datsun Z rims were basic nothing special steelies, and tires were 225/55 I think? And fozzy struts were 200

[@kckoster2555]

Did you guys get the sway bar links in ? I just got a 02 wrx that the previous owner lifted and he never put the links back in.

[@MoistMTB]

yep, you just need to put weight on the suspension, then they went in fine

[@evanshears6643]

Moving it with the different diameter tires front and rear was terrible for the trans. Only reason I know is cause I’ve blown x2 centre diffs in a similar fashion

[@CptMorganFreeman]

Haha, I have the same throttle problem on my truck! Glad I wasn't the only one that experienced that.

[@MoistMTB]

CptMorganFreeman hahaha nope they're just garbage

[@CptMorganFreeman]

It's not so bad once you get used to it tho. It's always funny tryna watch my friends drive it on gravel.

[@MoistMTB]

CptMorganFreeman just doing huge burnouts not even on purpose haha

[@takalakjones3248]

Sweet video. How have your axles been? I put 07 forester shocks and springs on my 2002 wagon and immediately had noises. Just curious. Maybe I need sedan axles. Lmk

[@MoistMTB]

the time that he had them in there was nothing weird, but shortly after when he lowered it again he blew an axle so who knows

[@shrek541]

Would the 07 forester suspension work on my 04? This is the route I want to go for now.

[@SCOOBTUBE]

Try some widetrack arms, will probably compensate the lift... awesome btw I gotta do this

[@MoistMTB]

scotty555babe SUBARU OWNERS SOCIETY yeah it's sick for what it is

[@coleswearingen2365]

my pedal does the same exact thing!!! so annoying I have the same truck just black.

[@MoistMTB]

i know its so annoying haha

[@respekted]

what size tires and rims did you put on there, mate? I've got a bugeye thinking of giving it a lift so I can rally cross it on our crappy stages.

[@MoistMTB]

they were 225/55r17 i believe?

[@AndyBoy2OOO]

I tried lifting my 04 wrx sedan today, it had coilovers on it so it was really low. We started on the front right, but we couldn’t get the knuckle low enough to bolt onto the suspension, but when I tried pushing it down with weight, I popped out the front axel. How you get the suspension hight enough to bolt in?

[@MoistMTB]

unbolt the sway bar itll drop the knuckle like 6 inches more

[@alexmaccity]

What do you know about that wheel clearance lifeee? Now you need 15" off road wheels, and 22" street wheels

[@MoistMTB]

lol, ok

[@fachinimichael]

Needs spacers on trailing arm brackets to center those tires

[@MoistMTB]

fachinimichael or just get the trailing arm brackets from an old outbavk

[@adinmonroe7456]

What year of forester did you take me off of

[@MoistMTB]

any 03-08 will work

[@wildlifeecology]

Does this change the way it rides of the street alot? Lots of body roll? More comfy?

[@MoistMTB]

CoolBigWillieStyles more body roll, same comfiness as lowering springs

[@ulifehr5357]

Duuuude be careful you could have broke your diffs when you backed out, bigger at the front and smaller in the back your back ones were spining while the front were rolling

[@MoistMTB]

smh

[@ulifehr5357]

@@MoistMTB ? Smh 4 what?

[@jovanisabastro1]

Do you need the outback trailing arms or control arms

[@MoistMTB]

you dont NEED them

[@PhilipHertzler]

How much did you spend I want to do this to my 2008 sti

[@MoistMTB]

i dont think with will worn on your 08, that was the year when all the suspension changed. but it was about $200 for the wheels and about the same for the struts

[@PhilipHertzler]

Do you have any recommendations I really want to lift my subie

[@fitsdrumms2293]

what atruts did yoou use?

[@MoistMTB]

Dave Fits forester struts and saggy butt spacers, that's it

[@michaelb4293]

Is it staying lifted?

[@MoistMTB]

Michaelb 429 he doesn't want it to, but I think it should

[@jaferlastname1760]

I hope you're gonna do what I think you're gonna do

[@MoistMTB]

this was a long time ago lol

[@nolanbelluz8502]

what size tires and 16" rims?

[@MoistMTB]

Nolan Belluz 17" rims, and I think tires are 225 60?

[@TheDjmrobertson]

you must be in the maritimes, no?

[@dieselmacdaddy5517]

I spy Kramer on the wall I think were doing this to our bugeye being slammed has taken it toll on a few things...

[@MoistMTB]

haha yeah for sure

[@OxyGan]

dammnn daniel :D thats fvcking dope

[@MoistMTB]

OxyGan hell yeah, costed about $300

[@frictionaddict]

did you have to buy anything else other than the struts?

[@deanbagongsilang5923]

y does everubody do not doing like this stuff in their Impreza

[@MoistMTB]

Dean Bagongsilang cause everyone is a stance butthurt

[@russellrhome1582]

What size tire did you guys use? And what year forester struts are those from? And did you have to get an alignment afterwards?

[@MoistMTB]

Russell Rhome check the other comments... And yeah you could get an alignment

[@russellrhome1582]

TrucksAndTuners I couldn't find anything about what year forester the struts were taken from? Thanks for the quick response!

[@MoistMTB]

Russell Rhome sorry they were from an 05 I think, any fozzy struts will work up to 08 I'm pretty sure

[@xiot2]

Always align after lift trajectories have be all changed

[@niccadoodles]

Nice job. How are you liking it? I'm getting ready to change by xt over to jdm forester sti take offs for similar height, better ride. Though you probably don't have as much sway with your less tall and shorter body.

[@MoistMTB]

EatMe it lasted like a month before he took them off and went low again lol

[@jamessteiger6515]

Cali lean Subaru?

[@MoistMTB]

james steiger that would look so shitty omg

[@zodawg3608]

How high of a lift is it?

[@MoistMTB]

about 2" over stock

[@zodawg3608]

@@MoistMTB oh sweet. I'm deciding weather to put a 1" or a 2" lift on my impreza

[@MoistMTB]

definitely just get forester suspension

[@waynes.2983]

Your axles are going to destroy themselves because of the steep angles.

[@MoistMTB]

Wayne S. Many people have done this before, the angles are fine, stop being such a negative fuck, leaving 2 comments on 1 video go fuck yourself

[@pastytit]

"Oblong" that's a cam bolt.

[@MoistMTB]

ERees um yeah no shit

[@quentindernelle6447]

Just why? 😂

[@MoistMTB]

because why not

[@jasonmillz8628]

get smaller or skinnyer tir3s

[@MoistMTB]

Jason Mill no way, it needs bigger tires

[@coleg4205]

That looks so bad I woulda slammed it haha

[@MoistMTB]

Cole G slammed = rub central, no thanks

[@jdmjake9121]

Ruining such a nice vehicle...AGAIN.

[@keith2860]
