Hi, Ive been lurking here for a little while reading about lifting outbacks for better ground clearance and running AT tyres etc.
I have a mostly stock 1998 Outback Lancaster 2.5l 4EAT station wagon that I really want to lift and fit some Yokohama Geolandars to.
I realize that there are two types of lift that i can do, either the Subtle Solutions 1" spacer kit, or buying raiser springs.
I have two questions:
1. If i buy the spacer kit from subtle solutions, is it an easy fit without having to buy other parts or change things?
2. If I go the raiser springs route, Can i just remove my old stock springs and fit the new king springs raiser or the like? Or will i need to be buying new struts and other bits?
If I'm only going to do one of these, which is the better option for me?
The main reason for wanting the better tyres and ground clearance is that here in NZ we get some gnarly mountain access roads for skiing and most of the good camping is off the beaten track
I apologize in advance if these are stupid questions
Any help is much appreciated!! :29:
