What about King springs? I heard they were stiffer and about an inch taller.

^^ is that the same setup in both of your pics? In the close up is it jacked up or something? looks higher than the further back side view of the car. I am interested in lifting as well, not much but something along the lines of a forester strut/spring lift.(need to do more research though and of course save money for it!) How is the handling, body roll and how much - camber can u get safely without rubbing?

I should haVe my wagon lifted 2 inches just before mid July


I've seen the Jackson Rally spacers, but I got nothing when I Googled HighGuys. Do you have anymore info on them?
