Strut swap

Post by Mark »

Are there any Subaru shocks that fit the front of an 06 Baja, that will raise it up closer to ride height of the rear? If I bought any aftermarket strut that was 2" longer than stock ,it would raise the ride height right?

The Bajas already have the longest struts IIRC.

as far as buying "any aftermarket 2" longer strut"... without seeing an exact example you're looking at I reserve judgement. You need to have the spring seat match your spring and the location of the spring mount will affect ride height. IE if you get a strut with the stock spring seat location but the rod has 2" longer travel, it won't lift your car at all.

If your front is significantly lower than your rear, someone put taller/stiffer springs in back or shorter/softer springs in front.
