I'm about to buy some saggy butt spacers for my gen 2 liberty, but I'm not sure which ones I need.

They don't list liberty/legacy but the guy suggested 02-03 impreza ones. I had a feeling they weren't the right stud pattern?

Cheers,
Robert

You could give this mob a try:

That's where I got my body lift kit and I subsequently got the saggy butt spacers there too.

ive used paranoid fabrications ones and they were good. 3/8 uses stock bolts

Have you put any more thought into squeezing some more power out of the engine. Like strapping on one of those intake fans

I put about 1cm worth of packing between the strut top and the body and it still is sitting lower in the rear. So ill probably need just under an inch to get It to sit level with a full tank.
I'll have to go the 3/4 with longer studs. That should make it sit level

I understand what he's trying to do. Even though wheel arch is bigger in the front, still makes the front look like it's in the air.

 

I'm fitting saggy butt spacers for this same reason too. Just waiting on some extended studs to arrive.

With a full tank it sits slightly Lower than this

here's my gen2 wagon with 04 STi gear in it.
Added the 3/8" paranoid spacers to the rear and the guard gaps were within a couple of mm of each other.

Yep that's how I want mine to sit

Which impreza ones did you buy that was the right stud pattern for the spacers?
