Pics please.

Pics eventually.

The Subtle lift kit should yield a 1" lift. Though, it's simply spacers, and I am not very keen on that idea. Gonna have to play it by ear on some forums for a bit. But, this is what it looks like with the kit....

Looks like front bumper wheel well trimming may be in your future to get bigger tires. How ironic... don't you think?

Hmm, well it definitely looks better with the spacers + the mudflaps. What color combo are you going with? Stock rims? I think you could definitely pull something off that looks pretty cool.

Re: Trim. Nope, not gonna go so aggressive that I have to trim the bumper cover. Meaning, wheel offset and tire size will be the major player here. I may end up on skinnier cowboy tires than I would like, but, meat isn't gonna mean much on this CVT tranny anyways. Already considering a 235/65-17. Only a hair wider/taller than the OEM 225. Still researching....

Re: Color. Considering I have the Ice Silver, I am a bit more limited in what colors will work well. Definitely not black. I am not a fan of full black wheels. i may look at either gunmetal or hyper black, both which have a nice midrange between black and silver.

So it has begun. Spring has sprung and checkbook in hand....

I am working with Primitive Racing in OR to build the mightiest of weakest Crosstreks.

Just ordered some items to lift her and get to work....

1" Primitive strut spacers
1" taller King springs
Primitive rear subframe spacers
Primitive shock extensions
Primitive brakeline brackets

Next up....

Team Dynamic 15x7 wheels



General Grabber 225(215)/70 tires



Mall crawler 2.0 is officially in the works....

And yes, I know, I fail.... still no pics of my Crosstrek. After it looks less like a family wagon and more like the one below, I will....

Get those pics up when you have the new wheels etc on. Too bad they don't offer the turbo diesel version in the USA eh?

If only.... us Yankees get robbed of everything. They didn't even put HIDs in these for the states....
