Hey guys, I'm new here but not new to Subaru. I've finally got my hands on an older WRX (02) and know little to nothing about modifications. It needs a little bit of work, but I got it fairly cheap. However, the previous owner (who I can't contact since I bought it used from a subaru dealership and had it shipped from out of state) had the vehicle lowered... and it's frustrating beyond belief. My DD is an 04 Impreza Outback Sport and I enjoy being able to go over speed bumps without having to take it at an angle. I don't know much about vehicles, so how do I got about getting this thing to stock height or at least raising it something more bearable? Better yet, know any places in the TC area that I can take it to? Help please!
Look on here in the FS section for stock 02-07 wrx struts and springs. Even if it has ****ty coilovers that can be adjusted to be higher you are better off junking the cheap **** the PO put in there and return to stock. That slammed butthole **** doesn't fly here in MN haha.
Buying cheap and being cheap might not be a good combination when buying a older modified WRX. Go back to stock is good advice as far as ride height and cheap. Good luck and welcome aboard.
Clean looking car, but too low for around here for sure. I hope for your sake you purchased an extended warranty for it.
Thanks for the input. I'll be looking for stock 02-07 WRX springs and shocks then. As for the metro area, I live in west bloomington.
Check rockauto.com or justsuspension.com. You can pick up a set of new oem struts for a decent price.
No offense to the OP, but the real estate market has referred to "prestigious West Bloomington" for as long as I have lived in Eden Prairie (almost 30 years now) in an effort to distance the area from the older part of Bloomington to the east.
No offense taken. I'm a transplant from the west coast and generally describe my location with some NWSE orientation. Thanks for the helps guys.
