    With the research I have done through out the web over the last year the price range of lifting your car can range anywhere from 5-15K, however I am wondering if it would be possible to put springs from either a forester/baja on the sti, for a added height for doing rally's. I am currently stationed out in Washington state, so autocross is popular, but the rallying that we have out here, mainly has alot of really rich people who can afford the good stuff on their rides. So far stock has held up really well, but i would love even just and extra inch of height and if i could get it and extra inch of travel. The bottom of my exhaust looks like it went through a meat grinder, but thats just the way rally is.

    thanks for any help.

    Check out dirtyimpreza.com, they have a vendor who makes 1" spacers for struts.

    Alot of guys use KYB AGX strut with 8in ground control sleeves/spring setup. do some research on dirty impreza and I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for.

    Isn't there an outback or something that has a higher ride height that you could use parts from??Not sure about this one.I was a little interested in this at one time because I do some occasional aggressive dirt/gravel road driving but do not want to screw up good pavement handling.
