On cut springs for now... Not my idea LOL All stock minus the rims and a stereo purrs along with 234,000 miles on it. Also came with random drift stickers and all of the bumps and scratches that come with that and a smashed windshield. So far I have fixed the exhaust, got a new windshield, took giant non functioning ricer oil pressure gauge off the dash, and out in a stereo.

Awesome! I tell every postal wagon owner this, but you should think about a EJ22TT swap!

Thanks for the warm welcome folks. I would love to swap anything turbo onto it at some point. For now she's the daily driver :) We reset the codes today too and luckily the check engine hasn't turned back on as of yet.
So for now save up some money get some not cut lowering springs some 2.5 inch exhaust and maybe an intake. Then save and go big with 03 WRX wagon suspension and an engine swap of some sort.
For having 234000 miles on it and cut springs she goes like a champ!

saw this car over on nasioc. good find. i almost bought rhd postal car then i didn't ha just becuase i know how all the drivers beat on their cars around here
and i cut my springs on my 98 obs but i only took out a half inch though haha. and i went for 04 wrx struts with prodrive springs for my lowering for my 96 ls wagon it was cheaper than buying springs for the legacy. i was going to use lowering springs on stock legacy struts but they had 140k on them so i got a good deal on wrx/springs for 300 shipped and they only had like 4k with lowering springs and 75k on the struts. rides amazing and no to crazy of a drop either.
good looking car gotta get some wheels though it looks odd that low with those big ass tires haha ( ive been there and did it ) congrats on the car too.

WRX suspension is a good upgrade for the Legacys. Try to find a wrecked WRX or Forester XT to use for an engine swap.

Those tires are ridiculous!
I hear 2.25in. exhaust is the best for N/A subarus. I have nothing to prove that tho, just sayin.
Also nice to see a postal wagon that's not covered in rust!

Random update 03 WRX wagon struts and springs on the way. Put on a new fuel pump today. Also have a new control arm ready to go on.
