Finally installed the 1998 Legacy Outback Limited struts/springs on my 1997 impreza OBW. i know it needs bigger tires, but tell me what you guys think. i didnt want to much lift(stress on the axles) because i drive the car every day. Thanks in advance.

It looks great 97preza :)

As a matter of interest, how much lift did you gain ?

Looks good but you need camber bolts in the upper rear, possibly lower also as you have too much positive camber, maybe also throw an extra one in the bottom of the front.
 
yeah, i did do the alignment. I work at a shop where i have access to lifts and a alignment rack. I gained right around 2 inches with the 98 legacy outback limited struts/spings. And your right, i could definitely use some camber bolts in the the rear to correct all the positive camber. And maybe some adjustable trailing arms to set the rears wheels back center in the wheels wells. I have been keeping an eye on the tires to make sure they are not wearing unevenly. As far as everything else, it seems to drive good.
