I have a 97 legacy outback with green tein springs from an 02 wrx, my problem is that the ride is a little to close for comfort as far as clearancefrom the floor.
Any suggestions on what I can do to raise my car a little without changing major parts, or any suggestions at all.

Begginner at your mercy !!!!!!!!!!!

really the only way your going to get any noticeable height difference would be to install a new set of OEM springs or something.. go back to stock basically.

You can't really change ride height without swapping a major part of your suspension...

What springs do you have on there? WRX Tein specific ones? In that case you could install a set of WRX springs... kind of depends on what spring perches you have (assuming WRX/Impreza ones because you have WRX/Impreza springs).

Swap for stock WRX wagon (01-02) or STi springs

well the Tein green springs are known to lower most cars insane amounts. eibach pro kit, or stock sti springs from an 04.

can you describe your full setup thought cause if you have wrx -struts,perches and springs, then your alignment should be way off anyways if not did you use camber bolts or bought an entire adjustable rear lateral arms

Can you post pics? I have a '97 as well and i wanted to lower it and was thinking of the TEIN.
I want to see how much it will lower my car before I bought them.

Paranoid Fabrications spacers will get you a quarter inch back or so, but thats not a lot. You might want to consider getting a more mild spring.
