- As per my video in the junkyard from yesterday, here's the installation of those struts. HUGE improvement to the car, and the looks. #automobile #diy #ej251 #mechanic #subarucars

Just ordered some new lift springs, struts and top hat spacers for my 2005 outback. One rear strut completed separated from the top hat haha
Dude, it's awesome to see someone doing a similar project on an 02 impreza like mine! Glad to see there's still some people working with them. Just finished my fog lights and added a wagon spoiler as well. Did a short ram and it surprisingly considerably increased performance. After a new muffler, forester struts are next!
I don't know why you don't keep the bungee cord. 🥺 It's so....beautiful! 😂
What did you end up getting for the sway bars bracket and end links ?
There is no need to use blocks
Use 97/99 Outback trailing arms brackets
Also 97/99 outback rear sway-bar bracket lowered the swaybar
Good info that I didn't have at the time. Also, didn't have access to that year outback at the LKQ I salvaged the struts from.
i’m thinking about doing this with my 2017 impreza. this would work the same with any forester struts for the same year right? seems like most subarus have the same bolt pattern
dope vid bro
I imagine the bolt patterns are the same for the 14-16 year cars, but don't quote me on that. I tend to stick with the slightly older Subarus, where more of the parts are widely interchangeable. You may be able to accomplish the same thing with a set of strut spacers instead, however. Good luck!!
how did you get the fog light switch to light up mine didnt come with one and when putting a relay it just clicks at the moment
I added a fuse in the panel, since mine did not have one previously. It's the fuse panel in the driver's side behind the panel, second row down, first one on the left side. It should be a 15 amp fuse. Hope that fixes it! There may also be a tiny bulb inside the switch, I'm actually not sure, I pulled my switch from a forester in the junk yard.
