Happy to announce, my lift is completed and Project XV is rolling along well. Nice, solid, stiff ride, though a bit bouncy. Quite used to that since the VX is much the same. Certainly turns some heads. Hope to get it cleaned up and get some decent pics this weekend (Subaru community has been busting my chops bad).
Webdog, glad you are enjoying it. It has yet to let me down in any weather condition and is quite a comfy car. Has the power of a HotWheels, but it handles its own. I was getting a solid 33mpg, but with the 215/70s and my Yakima rack, I am down 27. Price you pay, heh.
