Hi there, joined as I am after some advice on removing my lift kit that's installed in my forester!
Currently has one of the scorpion subaru kits installed with 35mm king springs on the stock subaru KYB struts.

Some pictures of the lift

Cheers

Go to a wreckers and pull all the nuts and bolts out for an impreza of the same year on all of the suspension mounts. You'll also need the steering extension if its a full body lift - if it's only strut lift you don't need new bolts, just use the ones that are on the top of the strut when you remove the strut spacers

The impreza and foz were made on the same floor pan so all suspension mounting points and bolts should be the same. I doubt it will cost $100.

Also start a thread over on offroadsubarus, there might be a member over there that's keen for a lift.

Cheers

Its the little knuckle piece between the steering rack steering shaft and the steering column. It should look something like this:

The kit has been removed and is now for sale.

2" lift kit with raised king springs on KYB forester struts and stock GX exhaust which has been bent up to meet the body.

The lift was performed by Scorpion Subaru in Capalaba by the previous owners quite a few years ago when they first got the car.

Price: $400 ono PM for more pictures and details

Bump, cheap postage anywhere in Australia, if you are just interested in the lift kit without the struts, springs and exhaust we can work something out.
